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.
New Jersey's Senate Resolution 93 opposes any proposal to change the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area's designation to a National Park and Preserve or to expand its boundaries. The resolution specifically addresses a plan by the Delaware River National Park and Lenape Preserve Alliance, citing concerns that such a change could restrict recreational activities like hunting and negatively impact tourism-dependent businesses in Sussex and Warren counties. The Senate directs copies of the resolution to federal agencies, state leaders, and congressional representatives to formally express New Jersey's position on the matter. As a symbolic resolution, it does not alter federal law but aims to influence the federal decision-making process regarding the park's designation.
