Schools Construction:
- Ledger: "State funding includes $124M for Plainfield, Elizabeth"
- Courier: Gannett papers evidently have local rewrites of a state bureau story, adding local detail. Today's print edition has a story on Plainfield's Woodland School plans, but the online story evidently is the New Brunswick rewrite. You'll have to grab a paper.
