S 2778 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Provides that Palisades Interstate Park Commission is eligible to receive certain funding from New Jersey Infrastructure Bank.

This bill expands eligibility for New Jersey's Transportation Infrastructure Financing Program, allowing the Palisades Interstate Park Commission (PIPC) to apply for state infrastructure funding. Previously, PIPC - responsible for managing parks along the Hudson River border between New Jersey and New York - was excluded from qualifying as a "local government unit" under the program. The bill amends existing law to explicitly include PIPC in the definition of eligible entities for transportation infrastructure projects. This change enables PIPC to access state funds for park-related transportation improvements like road maintenance, parking facilities, or visitor infrastructure. The bill does not create new projects but removes a barrier to existing funding opportunities for the agency.
