New Jersey Office for Planning AdvocacyThis dataset contains the boundaries of Designated Centers of the NJ State Development and Redevelopment Plan (NJSDRP). Centers are the NJSDRP's preferred vehicle for accommodating growth. A Center's compact form is considerably more efficient than sprawl, providing opportunities for cost savings across a wide range of factors. Compact form also translates into significant land savings. A Center's development form and structure, designed to accommodate diversity, is also more flexible than single-use, single-purpose sprawl, allowing Centers to evolve and adapt over time, in response to changing conditions and markets. Centers promote community, protect the environment, provide enhanced cultural and aesthetic experiences, and offer residents a superior quality of life.Designated Centers are those that have been approved by the NJ State Planning Commission. Center locations were determined through a process called "Cross-acceptance" in coordination with other state, county and local entities. Refer to the NJSDRP for further description of the geographic nature of Centers.ArcGIS FeatureLayerhttps://hub.arcgis.com/datasets/d4437a3a956f43d085ba85791442f763_0engNew Jersey Geographic Information Network (NJGIN) Open Data PortalPublicDesignated Centers of the NJ State Development and Redevelopment Plan [New Jersey]Web servicesNew JerseyLast Modified: 2025-03-07
