Thomas A Edison Change in Program of Utilization Environmental Assessment

This Environmental Assessment (EA) examines potential effects on public access and the natural and built environment resulting from the proposed redevelopment of Thomas A. Edison Park (the Project) located in the Township of Edison, Middlesex County, New Jersey.

The EA aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the Project, evaluate the alternatives, identify potential environmental consequences, and suggest mitigation for possible adverse environmental impacts, if applicable. Middlesex County (County) in New Jersey is requesting the National Park Service (NPS) to amend the Program of Utilization (POU) agreement between the NPS and the County for Thomas A Edison Park in Edison Township. The agreement, along with the Middlesex County Thomas A. Edison Park deed, forms the contract by which the property was conveyed and with which the recipient must comply. A recipient may propose an amendment to the POU for public park and recreation use that is different than the recreation use proposed in the original application for the property. Any amendments for different recreational use must be approved by the NPS.

The final decision to amend the POU is made by the NPS based on consistency with the park and recreation purposes for which the property was conveyed and the terms of the deed. You are invited to submit written comments on the EA through September 3. The EA is available in the "Document List" or "Open For Comment" on the left side of the page.
