From the Executive Summary: "New Jersey Partners for Preservation is a blueprint for historic preservation in New Jersey. It is the product of a year-long effort, led by the New Jersey Historic Preservation Office and Preservation New Jersey, to bring together agencies, organizations and individuals from across the state to talk about how historic preservation can contribute to improving the quality of life of New Jersey's citizens. It is not a plan for one agency or organization, but is intended to enlist the support of everyone in the state who believes historic preservation should play an important role in the growth and development of New Jersey's communities of the 21st century. What became clear during this statewide dialogue was that New Jersey citizens care deeply about the places, cultures and traditions that make up New Jersey's past. They are alarmed by the loss of farmland and open space around the state, the villages being overwhelmed by sprawl, and the historic resources being demolished to make way for new development. New Jersey's citizens believe limited information about the nature and location of heritage resources, lack of state-level financial incentives to encourage private investment in preservation and limited understanding about the civic, economic and cultural values of heritages resources pose significant threats to preserving the character of their communities and their quality of life. New Jersey Partners for Preservation describes a new and broader vision for historic preservation in New Jersey. It describes the historic resources that people told us are most important to preserve. It highlights recent preservation policy, program and project successes in New Jersey, and it outlines the kinds of actions needed to make the new vision for historic preservation a reality." Project funding was provided in part by a Historic Preservation Fund grant to the New Jersey Historic Preservation Office, Department of Environmental Protection, administered by the State, Tribal, Local Plans and Grants division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior.
