At Hearing on Highlands, N.J., Area, Watersheds Preservation Battles Profit.
Byline: JAN BARRY
Apr. 23--TRENTON, N.J. -- When it comes to safeguarding North Jersey's major source of clean water, there is an ideal strategy, and then there is reality.
The ideal, proposed by the governor's Highlands Task Force, is to buy and preserve a large swath of watersheds in the Highlands mountain region that supply water to half the state. The reality was a jampacked Statehouse hearing room Thursday where supporters and opponents loudly skirmished over how much land should be saved from development by proposed legislation.
"Builders and farmers may be forced out of business and into bankruptcy," Assemblyman Alex DeCroce, R-Morris, said to thunderous applause by construction industry supporters who filled much of the room.
Speaking directly to the boisterous builders, Sen. Bob Smith, D-Middlesex, chairman of the Senate environment committee, countered: "We won't have a housing industry in New Jersey if we don't have a clean water supply."
