City of Hackensack Awarded Over $85,000 in Grant Funding to Strengthen Community Services and Public Safety 🌟

The City of Hackensack is excited to announce the award of two significant grants totaling $85,000 that will enhance public works operations, improve community safety, and support the reliability of essential city services.

$40,000 Match Funding Grant – Public Works Vehicle Upgrade

Hackensack has received a $40,000 Match Funding Grant to purchase a much-needed Public Works vehicle. This new unit will replace an aging and increasingly unreliable vehicle that required frequent repairs and contributed to downtime.

With this upgrade, the Public Works Department will be better equipped to maintain efficient and high-quality city services, including:

  • Street and road maintenance

  • Snow removal operations

  • Park and trail upkeep

  • Infrastructure repairs and essential service response

This investment ensures our team can continue delivering dependable service and maintaining the strong community standards our residents expect.

$45,000 Community Impact Funding Grant – Safety & Infrastructure Enhancements

The City has also received a $45,000 Community Impact Funding Grant from Sourcewell to bolster local safety and infrastructure resiliency.

With this grant, the City will:

  • Install new security camera systems at City Hall

  • Upgrade existing camera systems at the Community Building, Chamber Building, and Municipal Bar

  • Add a controlled door access system at the Community Center

  • Install cellular power loss monitoring equipment at lift stations and grinder pumps to support rapid response during outages

These enhancements will help protect critical facilities, improve security for residents and visitors, and ensure continued reliability of essential municipal systems.

Committed to a Stronger, Safer Hackensack

Together, these grants represent a major step forward in maintaining the safety, efficiency, and operational strength of our community. The City of Hackensack extends its appreciation to Sourcewell and all partners who continue to support our efforts to improve local government services.
