Bipartisan Federal Water Resources Development Act includes Rahway River Flood Mitigation Priority
in the initial House bill that was approved, the language authorizing the Rahway River evaluation had been deleted. Through the efforts of Cranford Commissioner Gina Black, Congressman Tom Kean and Sen. Cory Booker, Section 1203 of Senate 4367 now contains the Rahway River provision.
