“After nearly 30 years of discussions with no one taking necessary action, today we are committing the necessary resources to bring us to this critical turning point,” Mayor Steven Fulop said in a statement.
“We will restore this one-of-a-kind local treasure to its fullest potential for residents and visitors to enjoy while properly preserving its rich history and environmental assets.”
The city has committed $3 million in capital funds to match grant money allocated to the reservoir’s construction.
Additionally, the first allocation of the Jersey City Open Space Trust Fund has dedicated $1 million, while over $2 million in grants awarded to the City through the Hudson County Open Space Trust Fund, New Jersey Historic Trust Grant, and Green Acres Grant will fund the preservation and modernization project.
