It's about time. The state has a half billion dollar backlog on Park improvements, and has neglected Revolutionary War historic sites forever. We'll need the tourism dollars after the Shore is washed out to sea.

There are so many tricentennial towns and cities in NJ that don't lean into their identity (looking at you Freehold). I like NJ and I'm happy to live here but for some reason we seem to lack the cultural identity of places that have a similarly long history.

Better than nothing but still a fraction of what they need.

Kinda disappointing the only park getting money in south jersey is the Tavern in Haddonfield.

Well it's for Revolutionary War sites and the Batsto connection has always been tenuous, and the park looks like it's doing just fine, I was there on Saturday. There are other taverns from the era but they are in good shape. Except maybe Potter's Tavern, that's not open. I think it's privately owned.
