NOTICE: Due to building renovation on our floor, the Historic Preservation Office (HPO) will be temporarily closed from 10/21/2024 to 1/6/2025. Normal operations will continue remotely for the duration of the project.
During that time, most staff will be working remotely and the office will not be accessible. Constituents who need access to cultural resources documentation may fill out the Information Request and Data Distribution Agreement form, and submit it to NJHPO@dep.nj.gov.
