North Jersey Resort Blocked By Judge

A $500 million resort project planned for a North Jersey protected area was blocked by a judge.

"[The] lawsuit against Vancouver-based Intrawest stands as a test case to stem urban sprawl into the Highlands. The largely undeveloped 1,000-square-mile Highlands serves as a recreation playground and the source of drinking water for about half of the state's population, according to the Office of State Planning."
