Message from Tom Schulze, CPAP Coordinator
Welcome and thank you for visiting our website to learn more about APA-NJ’s Community Planning Assistance Program. My name is Tom Schulze, and I am leading this program for APA-NJ. Our goal is to provide volunteer planning support to municipalities and community-based organization in New Jersey through a workshop that would last from a half-week to a full week. The workshop, which would result in recommendations and a final report, would include officials and stakeholders from the selected community. The types of issues that could be addressed in the program are:
- developing vision plans
- housing needs assessment
- environmental planning
- site planning
- local transportation plans or traffic circulation studies
- parking strategies
- transit oriented development and redevelopment conceptual plans
- developing a planning process
- guidance on neighborhood-based plans
- economic development initiatives
- recreation needs.
I am very glad you are investigating further and I strongly encourage you to submit a proposal.
The schedule for selecting proposals is quick. The request for project proposals (RFP) will be available thru January 13, 2012. The selection will be made by January 2012. More details about how to submit a proposal and what it should include are contained in the RFP above.
Once again, I want to encourage you to submit a proposal, and to make it as strong as you can to increase your chance of being selected. If you have any questions or need more information about how to create a strong proposal, I encourage you to contact me.
Thank you and I hope to be able to work with you on this very exciting program.
