The existing plan, New Jersey Partners for Preservation: A Blueprint for Building Historic Preservation into New Jersey’s Future 2002-2007, has been extended by the National Park Service to March 31, 2011.

Over the past two years, the New Jersey Historic Preservation Office (HPO), Preservation and Preservation New Jersey have been working to complete a new statewide historic preservation plan.  After working with an advisors group, and analyzing responses from the survey and four public meetings, the HPO has completed a draft of the new statewide historic preservation plan:  Preserving New Jersey’s Heritage, a Statewide Plan.  This plan is intended to guide not only the HPO, but also proved direction to state, county, and local governments, and to private organizations and individuals in their efforts to protect and to preserve New Jersey’s rich and diverse history.  New Jersey has experienced many challenges and changes in the past few years, but by facing these challenges, we believe this plan, in conjunction with the New Jersey State Plan and assistance from you, will enhance our efforts to preserve New Jerseys’ important historic and archaeological resources and to promote livable communities throughout the Garden State. 

Continuing in the process of making this a plan for us all, please take some time to read through the draft plan and send us comments.  The PDF download can be found on the left.  Where appropriate, we will address concerns and make necessary changes.  Please keep in mind that photos may change and they should be considered as placeholders in case we find a better image.
