In response to the recent flash flooding on July 14th, the NJ Department of Environmental Protection Blue Acres program is offering in-person and online opportunities in August for homeowners to learn about the voluntary buyout program. These consultations provide personalized buyout guidance and support to those affected by the floods. Two in-person options will be available in Rahway and North Plainfield that will serve as an open house for homeowners to learn more about buyouts and other recovery resources. Additionally, there will be two online options available to homeowners. Registration for the online consultations is required. For more information visit https://dep.nj.gov/blueacres/upcoming-blue-acres-consultation-events-august-2025/
