Bill > A1535

Introduced Session

This bill appropriates $500,000 to the New Jersey Vietnam Veterans' Memorial Foundation for the purpose of providing financial assistance for the expansion of the New Jersey Vietnam Veterans' Memorial and Vietnam Era Museum. The bill also appropriates an additional $2 million to the Vietnam Veterans' Memorial Fund for the same purposes; provided, however, the Legislature would be required to appropriate those funds, in $500,000 increments, to the foundation starting in the State Fiscal Year next following enactment. The expansion would position the museum to become a major tourism destination, solidifying its foothold as the only museum in the country dedicated to the study and preservation of the Vietnam Era. With this expansion, the foundations aims to have the museum recognized as the National Vietnam Museum, the first national museum located in New Jersey.
