FISCAL YEAR 2012 with District-By-District Tables on Park Development Grants You Are Viewing An Archived Copy From the New Jersey State Library COVERCOVERcover Garden State Preservation Trust Annual Report FISCAL YEAR 2012 With district-by-district tables on park development grants Essex County Riverfront Park, Newark You Are Viewing An Archived Copy From the New Jersey State Library Garden State Preservation Trust Fiscal Year 2012 Annual Report This is the Annual Report of the Garden State Preservation Trust for the Fiscal Year 2012 from July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012. It has always been the goal and mission of the Garden State Preservation Trust to place preservation first. This has been traditionally measured in the number of acres preserved as parks, nature refuges and farmland. But substantial share of Garden State Preservation Trust funding has gone to recreational development, an elusive metric because the allocations of dollars are not easily sorted into specific parks or projects. In Fiscal Year 2012 this reporting was accomplished and is included in this annual report for the first time. This is to be construed as the full annual report of the Garden State Preservation Trust for the 2012 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 FY2012 – a “one-stop” document of the career of the Garden State Preservation Trust since July 1999. The principal author is Executive Director Ralph Siegel. Special thanks are owed to Bryan Lofberg of the State Agriculture Development Committee, Joseph Lombardo of the NJ Treasury Office of Management & Budget and Eric Knudsen of the NJDEP Office of Green Acres for their crucial assistance.

Preservation & Recreation The Garden State Preservation Trust component programs have preserved 371,000 acres since the year 2000. This represents a land mass larger than Atlantic County or, in the north, Sussex County. This achievement is unparalleled by any state preservation program in the United States. In addition, $419 million has been invested in the development of recreational facilities and the preservation of historic sites in the same period. Land preservation, historic preservation and park development has reached an unprecedented pace under the Garden State Preservation Trust with the additional funding provided by the 2007 and 2009 referendums. Over this period, the GSPT’s component land preservation programs have saved New Jersey’s most precious open lands at a far higher rate than it is being lost to development, and have made sure those recreational lands are put to good use for all residents. All residents benefit from the fact that a third of the dry land mass in New Jersey has been permanently preserved. Most public lands are open to all. Jersey Fresh produce is a benefit to all. In contrast, over-building and unmanaged sprawl ruin landscapes, choke highways and degrade the ecosystem’s ability to cleanse the air and water. These losses threaten the quality of life of every resident, even for those who do happen to live near a forest or farm. But for many, the investment by the Garden State Preservation Trust in their neighborhood parks, riverfronts and cultural institutions of historical significance is most critical interest. In a major city, the refurbishment of small parks in neglected neighborhoods is immeasurably more significant than the preservation of coastal marshland. Recreational development projects have occurred in 191 municipalities with grants totaling $336.5 million since 2000. A stable source of funds over multiple years has enabled Garden State Preservation Trust project dollars to secure acres and recreational assets in the majority of communities in the State. A total of 114 towns have each preserved more than 1,000 acres through multiple programs since 2000. Each of New Jersey’s 21 counties has been profoundly affected by the GSPT’s conservation, agricultural, recreation and historic preservation efforts. New Jersey, of course, also has historic sites of global importance, from the Crossroads of the American Revolution battlefield sites to the research sites of garden state preservation trust annual report FY2012 You Are Viewing An Archived Copy From the New Jersey State Library 3 Thomas Edison and Alfred Vail. But the truly impressive, important aspect of New Jersey's historic preservation accomplishments is found at the local level: in the 448 historic project sites located in 213 cities and towns in each of our 21 counties. In the past 20 years, the Historic Trust with GSPT funding and with funding from other bond issues has invested $132.2 million in the preservation, restoration and rehabilitation of historic sites. The array of projects in each community represents the values and goals in each community. “Quality of life” and “smart growth” take on unique meaning connected to local values. Each city, town, suburb and village faces localized threats to this vision. Conservation, recreation and historic preservation are important tools to address these concerns. The Garden State Preservation Trust has become the essential financial partner. _______________________________ The following pages provide single-page "handout" summaries of the recreational, land conservation and historic preservation achievements in each of the 40 Legislative Districts. They are listed town by town for Green Acres, Farmland Preservation and Historic Preservation under the Garden State Preservation Trust from FY2000 through FY2012. Rural and suburban legislative districts with vast conservation resources have high totals of land acquisitions. Cities and densely suburbanized areas show a focus on endangered historic sites and recreational development in crucial neighborhood parks. Taken in the balance, these statistics show the coordination and unity of effort of myriad GSPT programs pulling together year after year to make all of New Jersey a better place. garden state preservation trust annual report FY2012 You Are Viewing An Archived Copy From the New Jersey State Library Legislative District #1 Park Development Grants Number of Grant Number of Grant Parks or Projects Grants Total Parks or Projects Grants Total Cape May County Cumberland County Avalon Avalon Recreation Area 3 $800,000 Lawrence Anthony Miletta Recreation Area 1 $150,000 Multiple Park Improvement Projects 1 $400,000 Millville Maurice River Waterfront Phase 4 & 5 2 $1,000,000 Lower Township Multiple Park Development Projects 5 $2,000,000 Sharp St. Recreation Complex Development 1 $500,000 Middle Township Goshen Davies Recreation Complex 1 $340,000 Ware Avenue Public Marina Facility 1 $500,000 Goshen Road Complex Phase 2 1 $400,000 Vineland Maple Avenue Multi-Use Recreation Area 1 $500,000 Shellbay Avenue Park Development 1 $150,000 Multiple Park Improvement Projects 6 $2,564,360 Ocean City Multi-Park ADA Accessibility 2 $400,000 South Vineland Park Improvements 1 $485,770 Wildwood Multiple Park Improvement Projects Phase 2 2 $353,000 No park development grants were sought or awarded in the Atlantic County section of this district Towns 8 Parks or Projects 15 Grants 29 Sum of Grants $10,543,130 Land Preservation Statistics Preserved Total Preserved Total Green Acres Farmland Farms Acreage Green Acres Farmland Farms Acreage Atlantic County Cumberland County Corbin 3 3 Commercial 2,008 2,008 Estell Manor 3,541 3,541 Downe 4,606 189 1 4,796 Weymouth 856 856 Fairfield 2,302 1,429 9 3,731 Cape May County Greenwich 109 1,573 17 1,682 Avalon 0.15 0.15 Hopewell 669 1,621 20 2,290 Cape May 5 5 Lawrence 2,968 1,457 11 4,424 Dennis 1,798 447 5 2,245 Maurice River 4,217 4,217 Lower Township 1,170 172 8 1,342 Millville 2,023 2,023 Middle Township 1,325 353 7 1,678 Shiloh 138 3 138 Ocean City 138 138 Stow Creek 1,032 845 15 1,877 Sea Isle City 1 1 Vineland 2,886 775 8 3,661 Upper Township 2,363 70 4 2,433 West Cape May 2 132 4 134 Towns 24 Woodbine 333 11 1 344 Total Acres 43,567 Historic Preservation Grants Project Number of Grants Grant Total Atlantic County Estell Manor Bethlehem Loading Company Archaeological Historic District 1 $30,000 Weymouth Belcoville Post Office 1 $15,000 Cape May County Cape May Cape Island Presbyterian Church 1 $50,000 Emlen Physick Estate 3 $178,251 Franklin Street School 3 $967,790 Dennis Joseph Falkenburge House 1 $50,000 Lower Township Fire Control Tower #23 1 $600,000 Middle Township Goshen Public School 1 $30,000 Hangar No. 1, Cape May County Airport 4 $924,287 North Wildwood Hereford Inlet Light Station 4 $269,250 Ocean City Ocean City Life Saving Station 1 $750,000 Cumberland County Commercial Bivalve Shipping Sheds and Wharves 5 $1,487,500 Fairfield Fairfield Presbyterian "Old Stone" Church 2 $120,234 Greenwich Greenwich Lower Meeting House and Orthodox Cemetery Walls 1 $5,000 John DuBois Maritime Museum 1 $7,500 Old Stone School 2 $14,000 Maurice River East Point Lighthouse 1 $300,000 Millville Levoy Theatre 1 $31,500 Millville Army Airfield Hangar 8 and Building 31 1 $50,000 Millville Bank 2 $179,767 Towns 13 Historic Sites 20 Grants 37 Sum of Grants $6,060,079 FY2012 PAGE 4 You Are Viewing An Archived Copy From the New Jersey State Library Legislative District #2 Park Development Grants Number
