PLAINSBORO: Township receives recreation grant award

   PLAINSBORO — The New Jersey Department of Community Affairs has awarded $20,000 to Plainsboro Township through its Recreational Opportunities for Individuals with Disabilities (ROID) grant program for 2013.
   The funds will be used to provide recreational and therapeutic programming for disabled residents in the township as well as surrounding communities.
   Under the auspices of the ROID grant, the township has been able to conduct several programs, including drama and fine arts classes, as well as grant scholarships for the adapted aquatics program. In addition, teen and young adult dances are held each season along with outings for special needs children and families.
   Plainsboro Township has had success with the ROID grant for over a decade since 2002.
   ”It is an honor to again receive this grant,” said Township Committeeman Nuran Nabi, who serves as liaison to the Recreation and Community Services Department. “Through the generosity of this grant, Plainsboro can continue to develop and build upon these innovative programs.”
