Hackettstown Council adopts ordinance to reallocate funding for fire apparatus purchase

HACKETTSTOWN, NJ (Warren County) – The Hackettstown Mayor and Council have adopted an ordinance reallocating the funding sources for the purchase of a fire apparatus in the town.

The ordinance, approved at the Council’s meeting on December 30, 2024, amends the funding breakdown initially set forth in Ordinance #2024-18.

However, due to the completion of several projects and the availability of additional ARP funds amounting to $15,066.49, the funding allocation has been adjusted.

The new distribution is as follows:

• Capital Improvement Fund: $34,133.39
• ARP Reserve: $498,896.61
