It technically is in New Jersey; Liberty Island is a Manhattan exclave surrounded by Jersey City.

Yeah, the Statue of Liberty branding image was even in northwest PA (Erie) quite a bit since it borders NY State. There are billboards off I-90 heading towards NY with ads for NY attractions... Niagara Falls predominately of course, but also even for NYC attractions (never mind the fact that its 6+ hours away and likely not the way you would drive there anway...). All ads seem to have/had the Statue of Liberty featured. Even the Niagara Falls ads...
NY branding, I guess.
