Urgent Action Needed for Open Space, Farmland and Historic Site Preservation

With bipartisan leadership, New Jersey has dedicated an average of $200 million a year for open space funding since the creation of the Garden State Preservation Trust in 1998. Most recently, voters approved the Green Acres, Water Supply and Floodplain Protection, and Farmland and Historic Preservation Bond Act of 2009, authorizing $400 million for open space, farmland, and historic preservation. 

These funds are fully allocated, and legislative action is needed now to continue New Jersey\’s legacy of open space, farmland, and historic site preservation.
