Reading Time: 2 minutesRegister for the AIA NJ Preliminary NJ Draft State Development and Redevelopment Plan Webinar
AIA NJ is planning an informative webinar on the Preliminary NJ Draft State Development and Redevelopment Plan. The webinar will be held on April 30, from 7:00-8:30 pm, and will be presented by Walter C. Lane, Acting Executive Director of the New Jersey Office of Planning Advocacy.
As background, the NJ Planning Commission recently released the Preliminary Draft State Plan and is currently engaging in a review and cross-acceptance process with county and municipal stakeholders. The finalized plan is expected to be released in late 2025. The Plan outlines ten critical goals, encompassing economic development, housing, transportation, environmental protection, historic resource protection, and public health. These goals significantly impact the practice of architecture, emphasizing health, safety, and welfare considerations in the built environment. This webinar will provide architects with key insights into the latest planning policies and how they align with sustainable, equitable, and innovative design solutions.
This webinar is an opportunity for architects in New Jersey to take an active role in shaping the State Plan and contribute to the development of healthier, safer, and more resilient communities. Further, it is intended to strengthen our relationship with the State of New Jersey and offer ourselves as a key stakeholder group, thereby improving our position in the decision and policy making processes moving forward.
With that in mind, we ask that you please help us promote this event to your members, officers, and professional communities. Robust support will help our cause. The registration page can be found at the link below.
Thank you, Past President Bruce D. Turner, AIA
