Mercer Gets Grants For 2 Projects In Mercer County
Gov. John D. Rockefeller IV announced two grants totaling 350000 to Mercer County Commission for the Brush Creek Watershed Project and a storm drain for the Princeton Towers Elderly Housing on Stafford Drive in Princeton.

Rockefeller praised the coordinated effort to address housing and flood protection with federal support.
