Open Space

Legislation to advance open space funding passed the state Assembly today by an overwhelming margin. The Assembly voted 58 to 9, with one abstention, in favor of a measure to allow voters to decide on funding for preserving parks, open space, farmland, historic sites and flood-prone lands. According to the NJ Conservation Foundation , without the Assembly's critical bipartisan vote, there would have been no chance of renewed land preservation funding for another year.
