Activity Report
January 2003
We are now involved with the development of the Hunterdon County Growth
Management Plan, an effort that has been funded by the state DCA. This is a
multi-year process (as all planning is!) beginning with defining the broad
goals followed by the specifics for the county, as well as environmental
indicators, looking at build-out analyses, etc.
Since municipal
representatives will be involved throughout this process, we are hoping that
this plan will actually be followed. Our group reviewed the goals, and then
attended the first Land Use Committee mtg led by Hunterdon County Planning
Board members. We were the only representatives of an environmental
advocacy group present!
This will continue throughout the year as monthly
meetings and additional workshops, etc. We have also joined the County Planning
Board's Environmental Toolbox SubCommittee spearheaded by one of our
freeholders. This group will review draft ordinances designed to be
environmentally protective and legally defensible, which our municipalities
can then use as needed.
All proposed developments that we have been working on are now mostly in
litigation.
