Paterson Great Falls: Renaming Park Facilities
Legislative Progress
Key Points
- Congress passed a plan to change the names of a bridge and a park area inside the Paterson Great Falls National Historical Park in New Jersey.
- The Great Falls Scenic Overlook Trail Bridge and Overlook Park will both be renamed to include the name of former Congressman Bill Pascrell, Jr.
- Once this becomes law, all official government records, maps, and signs will be updated to show the new names.
- This is a ceremonial move to honor a public official and will not change the park's daily operations or how much it costs for people to visit.
