Last week the Warren County Board of Commissioners unanimously voted for a resolution asking Congress to re-designate the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area to National Park status. The resolution says Congress should: "Place this jewel of our national heritage into the crown of the national park system where it has always belonged." The resolution goes on to say upgrading the Delaware Water Gap would: "Create greater awareness and prestige for our region. This could also mean more funding for maintenance, visitor amenities as well as other improvements and support for our local economy." The Delaware Water Gap National Recreation area covers 70,000 acres in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
