Transfer of Development Rights
Through a grant from the William Penn Foundation, the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission is coordinating two inter-related task force groups, focusing on transfer of development rights (TDR) in New Jersey. DVRPC is leading a task force to assess the vision and opportunities for a regional TDR program in Salem County, NJ. New Jersey Future is spearheading a task force to formulate state-level policy recommendations to improve TDR implementation. For more information, please see the report, TDR – Assessing the Potential for a Regional Transfer of Development Rights Program in Salem County, NJ – A Report of the Salem County Regional Task Force – June 2011.
