11 advocacy groups are opposing the new Liberty State Park bill, calling for Caven Point to be protected and no major commercialization.
The New Jersey Assembly State and Local Government Committee advanced a bill without amendments allocating $250M for Liberty State Park.
Jersey City Councilman Solomon called for the Liberty State Park bill to have amendments to protect Caven Point & ban major privatization.
