N.J. legislative leaders unhappy with DEP’s direction on Liberty State Park revitalization plan
New Jersey’s top legislative leaders are unhappy with the way the state Department of Environmental Protection is overseeing the revitalization of Liberty State Park and are pushing to have a controversial task force they created to have more say on the park’s future.
The leaders, Senate President Nick Scutari and Assembly Speaker Craig Coughlin, went as far as to say that the DEP should reconsider the plan to remediate the interior of the state park and to add more active recreation to the northern end, all with significant input from the advisory task force.
