The Urban Aid designation list is updated annually according to a statutory formula, however annual "hold-harmless" language in the Appropriations Act allows municipalities to retain the designation if they had qualified by formula in the past. The Urban Aid designation is used by the New Jersey Redevelopment Authority and the Departments of Community Affairs, Transportation, and Environmental Protection in determining eligibility for certain grant and technical assistance programs.</dc:description><dc:format>ArcGIS FeatureLayer</dc:format><dc:identifier>https://hub.arcgis.com/datasets/0cba9df76998452e9a6c89a6e7e6353f_13</dc:identifier><dc:language>eng</dc:language><dc:publisher>New Jersey Geographic Information Network (NJGIN) Open Data Portal</dc:publisher><dc:rights>Public</dc:rights><dc:title>New Jersey Urban Aid Municipalities for FY26 [New Jersey]</dc:title><dc:type>Web services</dc:type><dc:coverage>New Jersey</dc:coverage><dc:date>Last Modified: 2022-09-27</dc:date></oai_dc:dc>
