2013 Annual Report COVERCOVERcover Garden State Preservation Trust Annual Report FISCAL YEAR 2013 Johnson Lake, Byram, Sussex County Joint project of the NJ Conservation Foundation Land Conservancy of New Jersey Byram and Office of Green Acres (Land Conservancy photo) Garden State Preservation Trust Fiscal Year 2013 Annual Report This is the Annual Report of the Garden State Preservation Trust for Fiscal Year 2013 from July 1, 2012 to June 30, 2013. The core of the public-information mission of the Garden State Preservation Trust has been to document and illustrate achievements in conservation and preservation – with an emphasis on accomplishments at the municipal level. We measure this by acres preserved. But it is also importation to show grants for recreational development, historic site funding and the intact farms that have been protected. The bulk of the Annual Report focuses on all of this information. Of course, the statutory function of this Annual Report concerns GSPT financing, appropriations and agency operations. These are contained in the chapters which follow the Legislative District preservation tables. This is to be construed as the full annual report of the Garden State Preservation Trust for the 2013 Fiscal Year in compliance with P.L. 1999 C.152 section 8C-15. It is also intended to be a comprehensive summary of required financial reporting from FY2000 through FY2013, providing a full accounting of Garden State Preservation Trust activities since July 1999. The principal author is Executive Director Ralph Siegel. A special debt is owed to Bryan Lofberg of the State Agriculture Development Committee for years of patience, thorough assistance and faithful friendship. Recently retired, Bryan is irreplaceable and will be missed. Contents 1. Preservation & Recreation p3 Legislative District by District Listings pp 5-43 Statewide Statistical Tables pp 44-54 2.

Preservation & Recreation A second decade of achievement in parks & permanent preservation The Garden State Preservation Trust (GSPT) component programs have preserved 390,000 acres since the year 2000. This represents a land mass larger than Atlantic County or, in the north, Sussex County. Measured against the state’s geographic size, this is an achievement that is unparalleled by any state conservation program anywhere in the United States. In addition, $438 million has been invested in the development of recreational facilities and in the preservation of historic sites in the same period. Each of New Jersey’s 21 counties has been affected by the conservation, farmland, recreation and historic preservation efforts funded through the GSPT. All residents benefit from the fact that a third of the dry land mass in New Jersey has been permanently preserved. Preserved lands protect quality of life even for those who do not live near the forests, wetlands, parks and farms that have been saved. Every community has a vision of what it intends for itself. Residents understand the character of their neighborhood, of their downtown, of their sports facilities and of their natural areas. Each city, town, suburb and village faces threats to this vision and character. In the majority of New Jersey cities and garden state preservation trust annual report FY2013 4 towns, conservation and preservation have become important tools to address concerns over threats to the character of their community. It is important to underline the local accomplishments of the last 13 years undertaken by state, county, municipal and nonprofit agencies: Park development projects in 195 municipalities. Land acquisitions in 354 municipalities. 117 communities preserving more than 1,000 acres in parks or farmland. Counties and towns drawing 737 grants for 427 recreational projects totaling $355 million. Land preservation, historic preservation and park development programs have reached an unprecedented pace under the Garden State Preservation Trust with the additional funding provided by the 2007 and 2009 bond referendums. Over this period, GSPT’s land preservation programs have been able to preserve open land that would otherwise have been lost to development. ________________________________________________ The following pages provide single-page "handout" summaries of the historic preservation, recreational development and land conservation achievements in each of the 40 Legislative Districts. These summaries include acreage totals, development project appropriations and grants for historic sites, town by town, for Green Acres, Farmland Preservation and Historic Preservation in each Legislative District under the Garden State Preservation Trust from FY2000 through FY2013. Rural and suburban legislative districts with vast conservation resources have higher totals of land acquisitions. Cities and densely suburbanized areas show a focus on endangered historic sites and on the development of crucial neighborhood parks. Taken in balance, these statistics show the unity of effort of myriad GSPT-funded programs pulling together year after year to enrich the sense of place in all of New Jersey’s communities. garden state preservation trust annual report FY2013 Legislative District #1 Park Development Grants Parks or Projects Grants Total Parks or Projects Grants Total Cape May County Cumberland County Avalon Avalon Recreation Area 3 $800,000 Millville Sharp St. Recreation Complex 1 $500,000 Multiple Park Improvement Projects 1 $400,000 Ware Avenue Public Marina Facility 1 $500,000 Lower Township Multiple Park Development Projects 5 $2,000,000 Vineland Maple Avenue Recreation Area 1 $500,000 Middle Township Goshen Davies Recreation Complex 1 $340,000 Multiple Park Development 6 $2,564,360 Goshen Road Complex Phase 2 1 $400,000 South Vineland Park Improvements 1 $485,770 Shellbay Avenue Park Development 1 $150,000 Ocean City Multiple Parks ADA Accessibility 2 $400,000 Towns 8 Wildwood Multiple Park Projects Phase 2 2 $353,000 Parks or Projects 15 Cumberland County Grants 29 Lawrence Anthony Miletta Recreation Area 1 $150,000 Sum of Grants $10,543,130 Millville Maurice River Waterfront Phase 4 & 5 2 $1,000,000 Land Preservation Statistics Preserved Total Preserved Total Green Acres Farmland Farms Acreage Green Acres Farmland Farms Acreage Atlantic County Cumberland County Corbin 33Commercial 2,046 2,046 Estell Manor 8,433 8,433 Downe 4,606.2 189.3 1 4,796 Weymouth 856 856 Fairfield 2,641 1,429 9 4,070 Cape May County Greenwich 192.5 1,785.6 18 1,978 Avalon 0.2 0.2 Hopewell 669 1,931 25 2,600 Cape May 55Lawrence 3,060.7 1,501.8 12 4,562 Dennis 1,824 447 5 2,271 Maurice River 4,371 4,371 Lower Township 1,170 172 8 1,342 Millville 2,026 2,026 Middle Township 1,380 353 7 1,733 Shiloh 142 3 142 Ocean City 138 138 Stow Creek 1,032 914 15 1,946 Sea Isle City 11Vineland 2,888 775 8 3,663 Upper Township 2,419.1 84.4 5 2,504 West Cape May 21324134 Towns 24 Woodbine 356.3 11.2 1 368 Total Acres 49,988 Historic Preservation Grants Historic Sites Grants Total Historic Sites Grants Total Atlantic County Cumberland County Estell Manor Bethlehem Loading Company 1 $30,000 Commercial Bivalve Shipping Sheds and Wharves 6 $1,533,625 Weymouth Belcoville Post Office 1 $15,000 Fairfield Presbyterian "Old Stone" Church 2 $120,234 Cape May County Greenwich John DuBois Maritime Museum 1$7,500 Cape May Cape Island Presbyterian Church 1 $50,000 Lower Meeting House and Cemetery 1$5,000 Emlen Physick Estate 3 $178,251 Old Stone School 2 $14,000 Franklin Street School 3 $967,790 Maurice River East Point Lighthouse 1 $300,000 Dennis Joseph Falkenburge House 1 $50,000 Millville Army Airfield Hangar 8 & Bldg 31 1 $50,000 Lower Township Fire Control Tower #23 1 $600,000 Levoy Theatre 1 $31,500 Nathaniel Foster House 1 $15,000 Millville Bank 2 $179,767 Middle Township Goshen Public School 1 $30,000 Hangar No. 1, County Airport 4 $924,287 Towns 13 North Wildwood Hereford Inlet Light Station 4 $269,250 Historic Sites 21 Ocean City Ocean City Life Saving Station 1 $750,000 Grants 39 Sum of Grants $6,121,204 No park development grants were sought or awarded in the Atlantic County section of this district FY2013 PAGE 5 Legislative District #2 Park Development Grants Parks or Projects Grants Total Parks or Projects Grants Total Atlantic County Margate Jerome Avenue Recreation Facility 1 $600,000 Atlantic City 3rd Ward Accessible Playground 1 $750,000 Public Library Park Phase 4 1 $150,000 Chelsea Heights Complex 1 $450,000 Pleasantville Bayview Avenue Waterfront Park 1 $600,000 Rehabilitation Of Uptown Park 1 $750,000 Multi-Park Recreational Sports Facility 1 $868,300 Brigantine Waterfront Improvements 2 $600,000 Multiple Park Improvement Projects 1 $500,000 Buena Vista Michael Debbi Park Rehabilitation 1 $165,000 Ventnor Rehabilitation Of Ventnor Fishing Pier 4 $2,140,000 Egg Harbor Township Bargaintown Park 3 $950,000 Tony Canale Park Phase 2 1 $250,000 Towns 9 Hamilton Lake Lenape Park Phase 2 1 $200,000 Parks or Projects 16 Leipe Tract Recreation Complex 1 $500,000 Grants 22 Linwood All Wars Memorial Park Phase 2 1 $150,000 Sum of Grants $9,623,300 Land Preservation Statistics Preserved Total Green Acres Farmland Farms Acreage Atlantic County Absecon 193 193 Brigantine 152 152 Buena 78 260 6 338 Buena Vista 1,888.7 57.77 1 1,946 Egg Harbor City 26 26 Egg Harbor Township 2,317 194 2 2,511 Folsom 289.58 65.9 1 355 Hamilton 7,311.3 1,849.4 5 9,161 Linwood 9 9 Mullica 3,512 848 7 4,360 Northfield 7 7 Pleasantville 77 77 Somers Point 64 64 Towns 13 Total Acres 19,201
