In the two previous years (2018 in particular), the township did not spend enough of their own funds in road maintenance, therefore in order to receive proper road aid from the state for the year 2022, the town of Milford needs to spend an additional $25,000 above and beyond the normal 2020 requirements of expenditures in road maintenance in order to be eligible to receive additional funds close to the amount of $50,000.
