State of New Jersey TDR Task Force

New Jersey Future, with support from the William Penn Foundation and the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission, is convening a new task force to recommend reforms to New Jersey's Transfer of Development Rights program to make it more usable and effective. The Task Force includes a strategic group of stakeholders: local and county officials, municipal planners and engineers, environmentalists, developers, smart growth advocates and representatives of the farming community that will work to issue a broadly-supported set of statutory, regulatory, programmatic and policy recommendations within a year's time that will facilitate the use of TDR at both the municipal and regional scale.
