NJ State Plan

This week we talked about the New Jersey State Development and Redevelopment Plan as an example of Testing Planning Concepts through Design. If you follow the link you'll see that the State Plan is overseen by the NJ Office of Smart Growth which is part of the NJ Department of Community Affairs.

In a strong home rule state like New Jersey, the plan has to represent a strong vision is the communities are going to participate. And, it has have a fair degree of buy-in, which is one reason they take the cross-acceptance process so seriously.
