In New Jersey, the Northeast Supply Enhancement (NESE) Project poses a serious threat to the health, safety & environment of residents, business owners, visitors and wildlife in and around:
- Franklin Township (Somerset County) & nearby South Brunswick (Middlesex County),
- Sayreville/Old Bridge (Middlesex County), and
- the Raritan Bay.
Such facilities have been built on promises of safety and profits to the company, but it will be the local citizens who would bear the brunt of the damaging impact for generations to come.
Bayshore councils around the proposed Raritan Bay Loop passed resolutions opposing NESE in March & April 2019: Aberdeen, Atlantic Highlands, Hazlet, Highlands, Holmdel, Keansburg, Keyport, Long Branch, Matawan, Middletown, Rumson, Sea Bright, and Union Beach.
Examples: Monmouth County Freeholders (3/18/19) & Atlantic Highlands (4/22/19)
Join us as we ask our Local, State and Federal governments and regulatory agencies to stop this dangerous and unnecessary project.
