As the most densely populated state in the nation, New Jersey is projected to be the first state to reach full build-out. Municipalities are given decision-making power in zoning, land use planning and ordinances. The JC NERR CTP will continue to assist municipal elected and appointed officials and municipal staff with resources, knowledge and technical skills through targeted educational programs, websites and one-on-one interactions.
