For more information, visit: www.njht.org. © 2014 New Jersey Historic Trust New Jersey Historic Trust PO Box 457 Trenton, NJ 08625 Project Team Author: Howard Green, Public History Partners Editor: Sally Lane Cover Images: Essex County Courthouse, Newark, Essex County (top); Howell Living History Farm, Hopewell Township, Mercer County (bottom) December 2014 Dear Friend to New Jersey Preservation: A need for more than $751 million dollars to repair, restore, and reuse the state’s most important historic resources is documented in the 2012 Capital Needs Survey, completed by the New Jersey Historic Trust with the participation of hundreds of site stewards. The responses came from a variety of public and private nonprofits in widespread parts of the state. Resources included farms, museums, libraries, municipal halls, railroad stations, residences, churches, mills, and more that represent three centuries of building and innovation in New Jersey. That dollar amount does not include an additional documented $142 million necessary for site improvements and visitor amenities that will make more of the historic resources available for local residents and out-of-state visitors to enjoy on a regular basis. Heritage tourism, which brings $2.8 billion of income into the state, is an under-tapped resource for economic activity.

RIVER ROAD PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION 72 INTRODUCTION The River Road Redevelopment Area (“the Redevelopment Area” or “the Site”) has been identified by the Borough of Chatham as a key location to initiate reinvestment around the Borough’s eastern gateway. The Redevelopment Area is located at the intersection of 1River Road and Watchung Avenue and adjacent to the NJ Transit Morris + Essex Line (Figure 1). The larger area has been identified by several documents and reports issued by the Borough, including the 2013 Land Use Element Amendment and 2016 Master Plan Reexamination Report, as a potential location for new development. In addition, NJ Transit has undertaken a study to determine the need and feasibility for a new train station nearby. This Site provides an opportunity for the municipality to allow development that will add diversity to the Borough’s housing options, create public amenities, develop a new character for the surrounding gateway area and address needed infrastructure improvements.
