Harvey Cedars recently received a $34,000 Ocean County Community Development block grant for improving beach access for the disabled and accessibility equipment.

Police Chief Robert Burnaford said part of the grant was used to purchase a 2021 Polaris UTV. “This Polaris will be operated by our beach patrol to transport those individuals needing assistance to and from the beach in Harvey Cedars,” he said. “In addition to funds from this grant, the Harvey Cedars Taxpayers Association monetarily contributed to the purchase.
