New Jersey Framework

As New Jersey charts its course for the new century, it must confront two structural challenges to sustain the growth and prosperity it achieved in the 1990s. One is driven by the continuing transformations of the global economy, the second by the internal capacity constraints created by decades of largely unplanned metropolitan growth. Regional Plan Association is developing economic and transportation analysis to better understand the implications of the changing economic geography for New Jersey's infrastructure and development needs. An analysis of industry clusters and infrastructure conditions in different regions is being completed. Future work will focus on identifying priority infrastructure investments and opportunities for interstate collaboration.
