State Aid for the Borough Announced
Gov. Christie released the proposed state aid figures Wednesday and New Milford will see a minor decrease in their allocation

New Milford is slated to receive more than $1.6 million in aid from the state for the 2011 calendar year.
Gov. Chris Christie said this year's state budget "provides municipalities with steady aid."
"There is no excuse for this relief to be eaten up with higher local taxes, between receiving no further cut in municipal aid, and implementing a 2% cap on property taxes," said Christie.
