Dear Resident:
During the year 2001, Plumsted received the highest amount of funding,
$1,250,000, of any municipality in Ocean County from the State of New Jersey's
newest grant program, "The Green Acres Planning Incentive Grant", to save more
of our wooded and farmland from being developed.
To date, Plumsted
Township has preserved more land from development, in excess of 2,500 acres,
than any other municipality in Ocean County. The Township Committee is also in
the process of trying to preserve another 1,000 acres located in our Coastal
Divide, Lakewood and Pinehurst Preservation Areas as shown on the map.
With funding from the State, the Ocean County Natural Lands Program and
our own dedicated open space trust fund, your Township Committee can continue
to aggressively seek willing sellers of open and wooded land for our
preservation programs.
Saving land not only helps to retain our rural
character, but also helps to save taxes in education and other public services
while providing our community with an improved quality of life; less traffic
gridlock; cleaner air; and better water quality.
Anyone owning vacant,
wooded or farmland that may be interested in receiving a free appraisal for the
fair market value of your land for one of our preservation programs, please
contact our Business Administrator, Richard Kachmar at the Township:
609-758-2241.
