Representative Sherrill stated at the local press conference -
“The USDA Rural Development Grant is an investment in our communities here in North Jersey Improvement projects for environmental remediation or disability access can be incredibly
expensive. This grant will bring much-needed federal dollars back to Sussex County to support low-income residents in making critical repairs to their homes. I will continue to work in Congress to ensure more families in New Jersey have access to safe and affordable housing."
