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.
