The "Lincoln Park Restoration Project" will mean a much-needed facelift for the community's green space, supporters say. NEWARK, NJ — A big wave of federal funding is coming to help restore Lincoln Park in Newark. Last week, the Lincoln Park Coast Cultural District (LPCCD) announced that $3,550,000 in federal funding will be made available to Newark for the 'Lincoln Park Restoration Project,' which will provide a much-needed facelift to the namesake community's green space. U.S. senators Bob Menendez and Cory Booker – a Newark resident – helped secure the funding as part of the federal government's Fiscal Year 2023 omnibus funding bill.
