Urge NJ Governor Phil Murphy to Open Our Amusements Now!

The Issue

During the reopening of the state, this business segment has been overlooked and discriminated against – Amusements, Attractions, and Recreational Activities.

While the health of Americans is of utmost importance, we must also protect the jobs and businesses affected by the coronavirus outbreak—which is having an unprecedented impact on the Amusement and Attraction industry. It is safe and practical to begin reopening commercial recreational attractions.

The Amusements and Attractions industry.is built on a strong foundation of safety being the #1 priority. New Jersey’s “Safe Play” Guidelines have been established and the amusement industry is following all recommendations.

The attractions industry is intertwined within the markets we serve. The millions of guests that visit these facilities also support hotels, restaurants, gas stations, and other entertainment venues. Directly and indirectly, they are a key source of revenue for our communities generating revenue.

Operating and visiting these facilities during the reopening phases of COVID – 19 is a shared responsibility between the public and facility operators. At the end of the day, it is essential that amusements in the state of NJ open. NJ’s "Safe Play" Reopening Guidelines ensures that these centers for amusement can open and operate safely.

We are asking for your support in bringing the governor to the table to bring fairness to these businesses. EVERY business is essential! It is safe, practical, and important to open all businesses now.
