Press Release 6/17/22
WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Frank Pallone, Jr. (NJ-06) today announced that he secured federal funding for Atlantic Highlands in the Appropriations Subcommittee on Homeland Security spending bill for Fiscal Year 2023. The House is expected to vote on the underlying legislation in the coming months.

Atlantic Highlands will receive $2.1 million to repair bulkhead at the Municipal Harbor. The deteriorating bulkhead is one of the most critical pieces of infrastructure for residents and businesses near the Borough’s public marina, helping to protect the area from flooding and stabilizing the shoreline.

“I’m proud to announce today that I’ve secured federal funding for Atlantic Highlands. This funding will allow the Borough to rebuild the marina’s bulkhead for residents and businesses who rely on it,” said Pallone. “Coastal communities along the Jersey Shore depend on reliable infrastructure. I’m looking forward to seeing this project move through the legislative process.”

“The Borough of Atlantic Highlands is extremely appreciative of Congressman Pallone’s assistance in submitting applications for funding through the Appropriations Bill. These community funding projects are vital to the economic stability of the borough,” said Mayor Gluckstein.

“In particular, the application and request for $2.1 million dollars for the Municipal Harbor bulkhead repair, which was added to the Appropriations Bill as a community funding project, would assist the Borough of Atlantic Highlands and the Municipal Harbor for years to come,” Gluckstein added. “The Atlantic Highlands Municipal Harbor is the largest municipally owned harbor from Maine to Florida and is essential to the greater NY Metro area.”
