Bontempo Outlines Plan to Prevent Urban Blight in New Jersey
Salvatore A. Bontempo, chairman of the New Jersey Department of Conservation and Economic Development, spoke at the Hillside Industrial Association meeting in Elizabeth about careful land use to curb urban renewal problems. He cited 750 square miles of state land, 170 of 568 municipalities with master plans, and New Jersey as a pilot site for a federal program. He noted abundant rainfall, reservoir projects, and cooperation with the Delaware River Basin Committee to secure water after 1980, stressing multiuse lake areas for recreation and the need to control costs. He praised Island Beach’s low-cost opening and affirmed New Jersey’s vast potential.
