Smart Growth RequiresSmart Regulation
New Jersey is a "smart growth planning" state. The concept is imbedded in the State’s Development and Redevelopment Plan. The state has an Office of Smart Growth, has (or had) a Smart Growth Ombudsman, and several state agencies have (or had) smart growth plans and smart growth units. The state provides various sources of funding for smart growth planning at the local level. And smart growth was reputedly part of the New Jersey’s three previous Administrations, as well as the current Administration.
