S 273 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

"Palisades Cliffs Protection and Planning Act"; concerns preservation of Palisades Cliffs and creates Palisades Cliffs Preservation Council.

The Palisades Cliffs Protection and Planning Act establishes a Palisades Cliffs Preservation Council to coordinate protection efforts for the Palisades Cliffs along the Hudson River. The council, composed of 10 members appointed by specific municipalities (including Jersey City, Fort Lee, and others), will develop a comprehensive plan to balance reasonable development with preventing overdevelopment. This plan aims to address current fragmented local zoning that has failed to protect the cliffs' natural beauty and scenic views. The bill directly affects the 10 municipalities bordering the cliffs and the state by creating a unified approach to preservation.
