NJ Rev Stat § 32:17-2 (2013) What's This?

32:17-2. Preamble; consideration of agreement
Whereas, heretofore the states of New York and New Jersey have co-operated in the establishment and maintenance of an interstate park along the front of the Palisades in said states and in the mountainous lands in Rockland and Orange counties in the state of New York, by respectively enacting legislation creating in each state a body politic by the name and style of "commissioners of the Palisades Interstate park" , with power to acquire lands for such park, and improve and manage the same, and by respectively appointing, in practically all cases, the same persons as members of each of such state bodies politic; and

Whereas, it is confidently believed that the creation, by interstate compact, of a joint corporate municipal instrumentality to hold and manage such interstate park will provide greater flexibility and harmony in the management of the park,

Now, therefore, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual advantages and benefits to accrue to the peoples of the states of New York and New Jersey from this compact and in consideration of the mutual covenants of the parties hereto herein contained, the sovereign state of New York and the sovereign state of New Jersey do hereby agree as follows:
