Press Release: Reeves-Reed Arboretum Director Awarded Preservation Grant

The funds are part of an initiative by the Union County Open Space, Recreation and Historic Preservation Trust Fund.

Union County Freeholder Linda Carter presents a Preserve Union County Grant check to Reeves-Reed Arboretum Executive Director Gayle Petty-Johnson and Tom Ucko, former president and current member of the Board of Trustees, at the Arboretum in Summit.

Eleven historic buildings in eight Union County municipalities will undergo restoration work this year, funded in part by $500,000 in grants approved by the Union County Board of Chosen Freeholders through Preserve Union County.

The program is funded through the Union County Open Space, Recreation and Historic Preservation Trust Fund.
