Card Credit Processing Service "If the New Jersey Conservation Foundation buys this, I would feel even more comfortable that it will never be developed," said Carleton Montgomery, director of the Pinelands Preservation Alliance, who pointed to the commission's decision in the 1990s to allow the construction of a school on agricultural land.

Center Credit Service Union The new chairman of the Pinelands Commission, former Gov. Jim Florio, agrees.

Card Credit Service Wireless "It's protected now, but the best protection is acquisition," he said, asserting that development "is always a threat."

Credit Security Service Union "The dilemma is always money," he added, calling the private deal "an extra benefit that makes the job easier."

Credit Report Service But McGreevey administration officials, who have sparred with the DeMarcos over environmental violations on the property, insist the state has already spent millions of dollars buying its development credits and do not plan to help the foundation pay for the land.

Blogspot Com Christian "Not another dime of public money should be put into this property," said Bradley Campbell, commissioner of the state Department of Environmental Protection. "Even if we had unlimited funds at this point, in my view it would send an inappropriate signal that we are entering into a transaction with someone who has not resolved egregious violations."

Christian Counseling Credit J. Garfield DeMarco, a politically connected cranberry grower, has challenged a penalty imposed by the state after regulators charged him with illegally expanding his bogs into protected wetlands.

Credit Federal Service Union DeMarco is a former Republican chairman of Burlington County and a significant GOP fund-raiser.

Credit Monitoring Service Despite the dispute, the state had spent $5.6 million as of July 2001 buying the credits attached to 6,200 acres of the DeMarco farm, according to a spokesman for the Pinelands Commission, the agency that administers the reserve.

Consumer Counseling Credit Inc The Conservation Foundation's director, Michelle Byers, who is scrambling to raise the money to buy the property, argues that the acquisition would add a new layer of protections.

Card Consolidation Credit Byers said that under foundation ownership, hikers and boaters would have access to a property she and others have called a pristine, and still wild, section of the Garden State that is connected to several parks.

Credit Free Online Report "This is the hole in the doughnut - it's in the heart of the Pinelands," she said of the property, which surrounds the village of Chatsworth and connects Brendan Byrne State Forest, Wharton State Forest, Bass River State Forest, Greenwood Wildlife Management Area and Penn State Forest.

Credit Federal First Service "The likely scenario if we don't buy it is that it would be subdivided," she said.

Consumer Credit Service The foundation plans to take the 800 acres of cranberry bogs and 300 acres of blueberry fields on the property out of production, she said.

Center Credit Family Service "It's a worthy endeavor for the foundation to try to complete the protection of the landscape and to restore the property, but the question of public dollars is another issue," Campbell said.

Credit Reporting Service DeMarco said he began thinking about getting out of the cranberry business after prices started falling in the late 1990s and New Jersey farmers were hard pressed to compete with the many new growers entering the market. No one in his extended family, he said, was interested in carrying on the tradition.

Cca Credit Division Service "The cranberry industry is in a terrible depression," DeMarco said. "And in New Jersey, it's dying."
