STATEMENT TO

 

SENATE, No. 1347

 

STATE OF NEW JERSEY

 

DATED: JUNE 24, 1996

 

      The Senate Natural Resources and Economic Development Committee favorably reports Senate Bill No. 1347.

      This bill would appropriate $50,000 to the Department of Environmental Protection to provide a grant to Asbury Park and to Neptune Township, or other appropriate parties as determined by the department, for the restoration of Wesley Lake located in Asbury Park and Ocean Grove in Monmouth county, New Jersey.

      In 1995, Wesley Lake was ranked as the number one public lake restoration project in the State and was to receive a federal grant for the restoration until the funding for the project was eliminated in the federal budget.
