Gruntjs read from external json file

Question

I am attempting to read in an external json file and use that in a custom task:

Inside initConfig

grunt.initConfig({
  env: grunt.file.readJSON("PATH"),
  ...
  ..
  .
});

// Registering a task
grunt.registerTask('Namehere', 'DescriptionHere', function () { 
  // HOW DO I GET AT THE "env" 

  "<%= env.environment %>" // Doesnt work just gives me the string literal "<%= environmentVars.environment %>"
});

You're likely to use grunt.config.get("env") or grunt.config("env") for this purpose.
