The New Jersey Chapter of the American Planning Association (APA New Jersey) has received a two-year, $1.5 million grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to advance public health through land use planning.
The grant will support APA New Jersey’s efforts to address the critical connection between land use strategies and public health outcomes. While promoting public health is a key goal of New Jersey’s Municipal Land Use Law (MLUL), it has often not been effectively integrated into the development of municipal land use strategies or the zoning mechanisms that support them. As a result, public health policies and initiatives have been implemented in a disjointed manner rather than as part of a comprehensive planning process that engages all stakeholders and incorporates data-driven, sustainable solutions into the community’s Master Plan.
The session will inform you on Plan4HealthNJ and ways to be involved.
Participants are encouraged to eat their lunch while we learn about this initiative.
