National Grid $250,000 grant backs Veterans Village for homeless vets
National Grid awarded a $250,000 Economic Development Grant to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation to help redevelop a long-blighted Island Park site into a 58-unit Veterans Village for homeless veterans. The funding offsets demolition and environmental remediation at the former Long Beach Motor Inn location. The project will include affordable housing plus supportive services to help residents regain stability and independence.
