WEST ORANGE – A new law sponsored by Senator Loretta Weinberg which appropriates $40 million in voter-approved bond funding from the Garden State Preservation Trust” (GSPT) to the State Department of Environmental Protection for land conservation, was publicly signed today by Governor Jon Corzine at Turtle Back Zoo in West Orange.
“The beauty of this funding is that it will help preserve open space throughout the state,” said Senator Weinberg, D-Bergen. “As New Jersey’s population continues to grow, so will the amount of space necessary to house its residents. This new law will help ensure that future generations will enjoy New Jersey’s parks, beaches and other open spaces.”
