Bernardsville

  • The Bernardsville Fire Company received a $250,000 first-responder grant from the Homeland Security Department to purchase a 3,500-gallon tanker truck – particularly important because much of company’s coverage area in the borough is without fire hydrants.

  • Congressman Ferguson voted to reduce taxes for Bernardsville residents, including doubling the child tax credit to $1,000, reducing the marriage penalty faced by two-income families, making college expenses tax deductible, reducing taxes on capital gains and dividends, and reducing all tax brackets benefiting every worker in Bernardsville.

  • Congressman Ferguson secured congressional approval of $100,000 for the Bernardsville Downtown Streetscape program, which seeks to improve pedestrian safety and renovate sidewalks and curbs.

  • Congressman Ferguson secured more than $10 million to make improvements along an eight-mile section of Route 22 in Somerset County – one of the most dangerous roads in New Jersey. The Route 22 Sustainable Corridor Project is expected to break ground in 2007 between Routes 202-206 and Chimney Rock Road in Bridgewater. The project includes building new interchanges and overpasses, eliminating dangerous U-turns in the medians, and creating local and express lanes between Interstate 287 and Routes 202-206.
