In December, with strong support from Governor Phil Murphy, the State Planning Commission unveiled the long-anticipated preliminary update to the New Jersey State Development and Redevelopment Plan (State Plan). The updated State Plan provides a roadmap to address critical challenges, including climate change, equity, housing affordability, infrastructure modernization, and economic development. Developed by numerous stakeholders, the Plan allows for smoother coordination and planning among state agencies and different levels of government.
New Jersey Future (NJF) has been a key advocate for the State Plan since our founding in 1987, championing smart growth policies to improve communities and safeguard natural resources. NJF remains committed to helping advance the State Plan and ensuring its success across the Garden State, but we can’t do it alone.
You can help make the State Plan update a success by providing feedback on the draft Plan, via email at [email protected] or in person, at one of a series of upcoming public meetings, one in each of New Jersey’s 21 counties.
The upcoming county public meetings mark an important next step in the adoption process. These gatherings offer an opportunity for residents, community leaders, and government officials to learn about the Plan, understand how the cross-acceptance process works, and share their input. Meetings scheduled for March/April.
