New Jersey Smart Growth Locator

26 February 2010 - 1:26pm
Summary: 
NJ planning tool linking people to benefits and government program

In 1992 the New Jersey State Planning Commission adopted a blueprint for growth that designated certain "smart growth areas." The core principles of that plan combined with new technologies helped shape an innovative planning tool. The New Jersey Smart Growth Locator is a free online service that allows people to type in a street address and find out whether the property lies in a designated smart growth area and thus eligible for certain benefits. Prospective buyers can now find where their new home might fall and developers can make smarter business decisions.
