OFFICIAL SITE OF THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY
The Bureau of Technical and Financial Services provides technical assistance for municipal, county, nonprofit, and state open space acquisition and recreation development efforts. This includes technical review of land survey plans and appraisal reports for municipal, county, nonprofit and state land acquisition projects to be funded by Green Acres. The Bureau is also responsible for fiscal operations, processing contracts and payments for State Land Acquisition and Local and Nonprofit Assistance projects and budget, procurement and data management services within Green Acres.
To minimize public liability for site cleanup costs, and to be reasonably assured that lands acquired with public funds can be utilized for recreation without risk to public health, the Bureau completes Preliminary Assessments for all state land acquisition projects, and reviews the Preliminary Assessment Reports submitted by Green Trust Management applicants.
