Preserving the Legacy of 2000-2003
Open Space Advisory Committee |
| The Open Space Advisory Committee is responsible
to develop a comprehensive open space program for consideration by the
Planning Board in preparing the Township Master Plan; to evaluate the importance
of township lands for recreational use, stream corridor protection, and preservation
of aesthetic and historic value; to identify specific sites for acquisition, and recommend
available grants; to implement the Town's Open Space programs; and to comment to the Planning
Board and the Board of Adjustment as appropriate.
The Open Space program is funded from the special tax ($.02 per $100.00) approved by the voters
for the specific purpose of acquiring open space. That fund will have about
$700,000 at the end of 2002. The Open Space Committee is preparing a
program which will contain a list of properties that we should acquire.
55% of Long Hill Township is undeveloped. See the detailed breakdown of Land Use.
