Sign the Petition to Support Palisades Protection
The natural beauty of the Palisades cliffs rising above the west bank of the Hudson River has long been appreciated by generations of residents and visitors to the metropolitan area. Protected for over 100 years through the efforts of citizens of New Jersey and New York, the Palisades are included in the National Natural Landmarks Program administered by National Parks Service, are listed in the National Register of Historic Places, and have been included on World Monument Fund's 2014 World Monuments Watch list.
But now, LG Electronics is planning to build an office tower that will rise high above the trees, and for the first time, violate the unspoiled ridgeline — a view enjoyed by Americans since before the founding of our nation.
We need your help! Take action now by signing a petition to the Mayor of Englewood Cliffs and President of LG to redesign the LG tower to a low-rise design that would preserve the natural beauty of the Palisades and fulfill LG nd Englewood Cliffs' needs.
