>Officials tout advantages of new statewide growth plan
A panel of state officials today promised new levels of coordination among local governments and state agencies, as the Chris Christie administration pushes a new statewide plan for redevelopment and environmental preservation.
Speaking at the annual redevelopment forum hosted by New Jersey Future, the smart-growth organization, panelists touted the growth plan before hundreds of the state’s business professionals and local government officials. The state strategic plan, which Christie released last year, aims to realign cabinet-level agencies to help local governments to support redevelopment. (Burd, NJBIZ)
