NJ Historic Trust Funding
Over two years has passed since the previous bond measure of "stop gap" fnding for the Garden State Preservation Trust, and Trust's grant funding is running dry. GSPT remains without a long-term funding source, putting the fund and its historic preservation and open space and farmland conservation activites at risk once again. The Keep It Green Campaign, representing over 160 statewide, regional, and local organizations (including Preservation New Jersey) is again advocating for long-term, stable GSPT funding of at least $200 million annually for 20 years or more. Join the campaign or donate at www.njkeepitgreen.org or on Facebook.

Resident Curatorships for State-Owned Historic Properties
A529 would open a new realm of preservation and rehabilitation opportunities for historic places on state-owned land by allowing these places to be leased at low cost to private entities in exchange for their agreement to restore or rehabilitate the place using private capital. Visit the New Jersey Legislature website to track this bill and ID the legislators that need to hear from you as this bill moves through committees.
