COMPACT

Whereas, The State of Delaware and New Jersey are separated by the Delaware River and Bay which create a natural obstacle to the uninterrupted passage of traffic other than by water and with normal commercial activity between the two States thereby hindering the economic growth and development of those areas in both States which border the River and Bay; and Whereas, the pressures of existing trends from increasing traffic, growing population and greater industrialization indicate the need for closer cooperation between the two States in order to advance the economic development and to improve crossings, transportation, terminal and other facilities of the area; and Whereas, the financing, construction, operation and maintenance of such crossings, transportation, terminal and other facilities of commerce and the over-all planning for future economic development of the area may be best accomplished for the benefit of the two States and their citizens, the region and nation, by the cordial cooperation of Delaware and New Jersey by and through a joint or common agency or authority;
