Land swap may spark Montague changes in DWGNRA plan
Montague New Jersey features in Gov Hughes master plan for the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. The report favors returning several hundred acres to Montague from the DWGNRA, noting the land hosts key businesses and a level buildable area. A swap with the recreation area would allow Montague to keep valuable land while DWGNRA uses a state forest portion for facilities. The town, with about 1,000 residents, is identified as a secondary regional center with projected 5,000 to 10,000 people in the future. The context mentions past tensions over Project Camp, a federal program to raise reading levels for school dropouts that sparked community objections over nonwhite participants.
