New Jersey State Plan Update


The State Planning Commission (SPC) released  the Preliminary Draft of the New Jersey State Development and Redevelopment Plan on December, 4 2024.  The counties, municipalities, State agencies, and the general public all play integral roles in this process.  Burlington County will work with its municipalities during the cross-acceptance process to finalize the State Plan. Cross-Acceptance is a process of comparing statewide planning policies at government levels to attain a high level of consistency among municipal plans and the State Plan. As a part of this process, municipalities have an opportunity to provide feedback on the State Plan, which has not been updated in over 20 years. 

Learn more about the draft preliminary State Development and Redevelopment Plan and the Cross-Acceptance process.

A Public Meeting on the draft Preliminary State Plan was held on Tuesday, March 11, 2025 at the Burlington County Library.  During the meeting, staff from the New Jersey Office of Planning Advocacy gave a Presentation on the State Plan and attendees had the opportunity to comment on, and provide feedback.
