New
Jersey Partners for Preservation: A Blueprint for Building Historic Preservation
into New Jersey's Future 2002 - 2007,
also referred to as the New Jersey Historic Preservation Plan, has been
completed and approved by the National Park Service.
Over the past
year the New Jersey Historic Preservation Office, Preservation New Jersey,
and a host of advisors have worked diligently to complete this plan, which
is intended to guide not only the New Jersey Historic Preservation Office
in the Department of Environmental Protection, but also provide direction
to state, county, and local government agencies and to private organizations
and individuals in their efforts to protect and to preserve New Jersey's
rich and diverse history. Faced with many challenges in our efforts to preserve
the state's environment, we believe this plan, in conjunction with the New
Jersey State Plan and smart growth principles, will enhance our efforts
to preserve New Jersey's important historic and archeological resources
and to promote livable communities throughout the Garden State.
The HPO is
distributing the Plan broadly and makes it available by following the links
