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.
