Frelinghuysen Township updates its Open Space and Recreation Plan
The Township of Frelinghuysen has received a $5,000
matching grant from the Association of NJ Environmental Commissions (ANJEC)
to help finance the updating of their 2006 Open Space and Recreation Plan.
Funded by Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation, this Sustainable Jersey Planning
Grant has helped the municipality with the process of comprehensive planning
to create livable and environmentally sustainable communities.
The Project Team has re-examined the township’s needs
and goals, as well as established priorities and strategies for continued
future preservation. The Plan is intended to serve as a guide, providing
broad-based policies and concepts for achieving open space preservation
goals that use a variety of funding sources. The updated Plan replaces
the 2006 version that is incorporated in the Frelinghuysen Master Plan. This
Open Space and Recreation Plan was submitted to the State of NJ
Department of Environmental Protection and was approved. Having an approved plan
will enable the Township to apply for maximum funding from Green Acres to
assist with future open space acquisitions.
The Project Team includes representatives from the Open
Space Committee, Environmental Commission, Recreation Committee, Planning
Board, Township Committee, and a resident historian. This team has worked
with The Land Conservancy of NJ and a representative from ANJEC.
Open Space and
Recreation Plan 2012 update
