Opposes all proposals to change designation of Delaware Water Gap from National Recreation Area to National Park and Preserve, including proposal from Delaware River National Park and Lenape Preserve Alliance.
This resolution opposes any proposal to reclassify the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area (currently a 70,000-acre federal site spanning New Jersey and Pennsylvania) as a National Park and Preserve, including a specific plan by the Delaware River National Park and Lenape Preserve Alliance. It specifically addresses concerns that such a change could restrict recreational activities like hunting, harm local tourism businesses in Sussex and Warren counties, and potentially lead to federal acquisition of private land near the area. The resolution does not change any park designations but formally expresses New Jersey's position against the proposed reclassification. It aims to protect local economic interests and recreational access for residents and visitors in the affected counties.
