The National Park Service uses leasing to help preserve areas of historical significance, including Sandy Hook’s Fort Hancock.

Gateway worked with the Fort Hancock 21st Century Federal Advisory Committee to create a viable, vital community in historic Fort Hancock. The committee started in September, 2012 and ended in February, 2025. The committee held public meetings on a periodic basis.Find out more about the committee here. More information about meetings, including meeting notes, can be found here.
