Recently, during a visit to Jersey City, I had the pleasure of touring the Liberty Science Center and spending some time with its CEO and President, Paul Hoffman.
With over 800,000 annual visitors, it’s obvious that LSC is an important piece of the New Jersey tourism economy. Last year, they welcomed over 300,000 school children from around the region, including 1,600 from my legislative district. Their planetarium is the largest one in the western hemisphere!
Paul and the team have big plans for the future — thanks in part, to a New Jersey Economic Development Authority CAFE grant — and I’m excited to bring the kids back to see it all.
Great to see the City of Camden on display in the LSC railroad’s exhibit, where it showcases a model of the first drive in movie theater — from right here in the City Invincible. And even better, Popeye was playing on the screen.
