STATEMENT
The bill appropriates $13,902,723 to the New Jersey Historic Trust for grants for certain historic preservation projects contained in the bill and associated administrative expenses.
The funding in this bill is provided from constitutionally dedicated corporation business tax (CBT) revenues pursuant to Article VIII, Section II, paragraph 6 of the State Constitution, approved by the voters of the State in November 2014. The "Preserve New Jersey Act" implements the constitutional dedication of CBT revenues for open space, farmland, and historic preservation. The "Preserve New Jersey Historic Preservation Fund" was established by section 9 of the "Preserve New Jersey Act."
The funding contained in this
bill will be used to provide capital preservation grants for 38 projects,
totaling $10,950.103, and historic site management grants for 29 projects, totaling
$952,620. Capital preservation grants fund the restoration, preservation,
repair, and rehabilitation of historic sites for new or continued use by
nonprofit organizations or local governments. Twenty-six of the historic site
management grants will help fund preservation planning projects such as
condition assessments, historic structure reports, archaeological
investigations, and construction documents, and three historic site management
grants will help fund heritage tourism initiatives to improve visitors'
experiences at historic sites. There are three levels of capital preservation
grants: Level I grants of $5,000 to $150,000; Level II grants of $150,001 to $750,000;
and Multi-Phase Level II grants range of $500,000 to $750,000. Five of
the 38 capital preservation grants are for the first phase of large-scale,
multi-phased projects. (Future phases of these projects will be eligible for
funding in subsequent funding rounds.) All of the grants require a match from
the recipient. All of the properties are listed or eligible to be listed in
the New Jersey and National Register of Historic Places, either individually or
within designated historic districts.
In addition, the bill also appropriates $2 million to the New Jersey Historic Trust for administrative expenses incurred in the implementation of the "Preserve New Jersey Act."
The projects listed in this bill have been approved by the New Jersey Historic Trust and the Garden State Preservation Trust.
The bill also provides that any transfer of any funds to another project, or change in project sponsor, site, or type, listed in the bill would require the approval of the Joint Budget Oversight Committee. The bill further provides that, to the extent there are funds remaining after those projects listed in this bill are offered funding, the New Jersey Historic Trust, with the approval of the Joint Budget Oversight Committee, may use those funds to provide additional funding for historic preservation projects carried out by local government units or qualifying tax-exempt nonprofit organizations, provided those projects were previously approved for funding pursuant to various other laws or approved for funding pursuant to this bill.
