New State Strategic Plan
UPDATE: Lt. Governor Kim Guadagno is scheduled to attend tonight’s hearing at Monmouth University.
The State Planning Commission continues the introduction of its new plan, which is a revision of the 2001 State Development and Redevelopment Plan, with public hearings this week.
Locally, there will be a hearing on Tuesday, February 28, at Monmouth University, Bey Hall, 400 Cedar Ave, West Long Branch. The hearing is scheduled for 6PM with public comment and questions at 7PM.
There will be a hearing in Morris Township on Monday and in Bordentown on Wednesday. Click here for details.
The plan sets forth a vision for the future of our State along with strategies to achieve that vision. It is the culmination of several years of work by the State and its staff in collaboration with county and local stakeholders and members of the public, according to the State Planning Commission’s website.
There has been some growing grassroots opposition and pointed questioning of the plan by Tea Party members and opponents of UN Agenda 21. Opponents are expressing concerns of the loss of private property rights, local control and sovereignty.
