The document summarizes the efforts to preserve Jersey City Reservoir No. 3. A $300,000 grant was received to develop a preservation plan including an historic structures report and application to the NJ Register of Historic Places. A world-class team including preservation, landscape, civil, and structural engineers was selected. The historic structures report assessed the structures, tested them, and established stabilization priorities and costs. The application to the NJ Register was approved, protecting the site. A concept design was created to retain the reservoir's character while increasing public access and use through circulation improvements, building stabilization and construction, and new spaces. The work is ongoing with fundraising, continued stabilization, and engaging the public.
