(Continued on page 3) December 2001 Greetings, The holiday season is always a good time to reflect on the accomplish- ments from the past year and to plan ahead for the new year. Preservation New Jersey and the Historic Preservation Office spearheaded the formu- lation of a new plan to guide historic preservation activities in the coming years. Public surveys, community meetings and focus groups articulated the vision for New Jersey’s preservation agenda and we’re excited to launch the culmination of this planning process early next year. As you will read from the pages ahead, this past year has been filled with implementing several new initiatives such as the Civil War Monuments survey, the Women’s Heritage Trail project, and the Salem County survey, to name a few. Twenty-one new listings were added to either the NJ or National Registers of Historic Places and our regulatory workload again exceeded the number of project reviews from the previous year. Of special note was the rise in certification applications we assisted to qualify investors for the Investment Tax Credit. The diversity of project types range from small, single family dwellings (rental) to the massive rehabilitation of the Atlantic City Convention Center. The 20% tax credit leverages multi-millions in private investment and we’re hoping this trend continues into the future. This past October we added Steve Hardegen as the new Senior Historic Preservation Specialist, who replaced Carl Nittinger as the NJDOT project reviewer. Steve formerly worked as an HPO intern and most recently completed the Revolutionary War Battlefield survey for the American Battlefield Protection program sponsored by the National Park Service. 2002 promises to be a year of change and challenge. On behalf of the Historic Preservation Office, I wish to thank all of you for your efforts to preserve what’s best about New Jersey and to extend our very best wishes for a safe and healthy new year. Sincerely, Dorothy P. Guzzo Deputy State Historic Preservation Officer The Historic Preservation Office… is committed to enhancing the quality of life for the residents of New Jersey through the preservation and appreciation of our collective past. Our mission is to assist the residents of New Jersey in identifying, preserving, protecting and sustaining our historic and archaeological resources through the implementation of the state’s historic preservation program. 2 (Continued from page 1) public meetings were held during blocks for the future.

  • Bruce Springsteen Tourism to Asbury Park (& the Jersey Shore)
    'Bruceland', the 'Promised Land' and the 'Land of Hope and Dreams' Constructing Music Tourism: Bruce Springsteen Fans and the Meaning of Visiting Asbury Park and the Jersey Shore Master Thesis Tourism and Culture Arts and Culture Studies Radboud University Name: C.A. van Helden, MA Student number: 4168968 Supervisor: Dr. F.P.G.B.M. Meens Date: 15 August 2018 Van Helden / s4168968 / 2 Abstract Recently, the niche of music tourism has become increasingly significant and widespread. Even though research into music tourism has also started to develop more broadly, the perspective of fans travelling someplace out of fandom of a musician, band, or music scene remains rather neglected. This research will focus on the case study of fans of Bruce Springsteen and his ‘adopted’ hometown of Asbury Park, New Jersey, as well as its neighboring towns of Belmar, Freehold, and Long Branch. In this thesis, this area is referred to as Asbury Park and the Jersey shore. This research will focus on an interpretation of recurring themes in the ways in which fans of Bruce Springsteen describe their motivations for visiting this area, as well as their experiences. As such, this research aims to add to an understanding of the ways in which (fan) tourists add to a construction of a music tourism destination; in other words, how do fans of Bruce Springsteen shape an image of said destination in their discourses? What makes their visit meaningful? How do they contribute to a particular tourist landscape?
