Freehold Borough Accepting Sidewalk Replacement Applications

Freehold Borough is accepting applications for its spring 2012 Sidewalk Improvement Program.

The municipality will pay for half the expense of replacing sidewalks with any code deficiencies, while the resident will be responsible for the second half. Freehold Borough will enter into an agreement with a qualified contractor to perform the work, and the property owner will be advised of the cost before work begins.

Repairs are limited to sidewalk deficiencies. These code deficiencies may have resulted from uplifted tree roots, decay, or any other unsafe conditions.

Qualified residents will be included on the Sidewalk Improvement Program list on a first come, first serve basis.

To register for the program, submit your name, address, and telephone number to Dan Megill at or by email to dmegill@freeholdboro.org.

The deadline to submit requests is Thursday, Dec. 1.
