Woodrow Wilson School, Robertson Hall
free & open to the public
registration required [event
registration & agenda]
New Jersey is widely viewed as a national leader when it comes
to state planning, smart growth and land preservation, and has
distinguished itself as a state that understands that where and how
growth takes place is critical to the state's prosperity. But with more
than twenty years' experience with the State Planning Act under its belt,
how have things actually worked out for the Garden State? What type of
state planning system makes sense to shape the next 20 years?
