TDR at issue

One of the central issues in the debate over New Jersey's Highlands plan is that it is employing a TDR system to encourage the movement of growth away from critical features and towards regional centers or other sorts of receiving zones. The municipality of Ringwood has issued a 10-page recommendation to change the plan because they think the current proposal is going to have a negative impact on the very water quality and rural landscape issues that the highlands Act is supposed to protect.
