Privatizing the New Jersey Turnpike and Garden State Parkway won't happen immediately. But exploring the idea will be a priority, state officials say.
Though the state could be months away from presenting a final analysis on privatization, officials said Wednesday that they have some clue as to what ideas may work or fail.
Privatizing the state's two busiest roads -- as well as the New Jersey Lottery -- could be marketable transactions that would reap much-needed revenue for the state, said Bradley Abelow, state treasurer.
