SUMMARY:Webinar: Introduction to the H+T Affordability Index and Applications in Planning (CM | 1.5)
DESCRIPTION:This webinar introduces the H+T Index\, a tool developed by the Center for Neighborhood Technology that is helping illuminate the hidden costs of unsustainable development. The H+T Index documents the transportation costs associated with a home’s location for 337 U.S. metropolitan areas by pricing the tradeoffs between housing and transportation costs that buyers and renters make when choosing where to live. Compact\, walkable\, mixed-use communities with convenient access to public transit and employment centers sometimes appear expensive because of higher housing costs — but the H+T Index shows that these places can often make for more affordable living than lower-density exurban communities because households can own fewer cars and still maintain a high quality of life. In addition to providing household cost data at the Census block group level\, the H+T Index also provides household vehicle miles traveled estimates\, access to transit\, proximity to jobs\, and household greenhouse gas emissions from driving. Learn how the Index works with a detailed explanation and a live demo\, hear how some communities are using the Index for planning purposes\, and learn about upcoming updates to the H+T Index database that will expand the ways it can be used. This webinar is sponsored by the Technology Division. \nRegister: https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/803691043

SUMMARY:Webinar: Real Estate Finance from Simple to Complex (CM | 1.5)
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will parse the fundamental components of real estate finance so that participants will better understand the financial pro formas that real estate developers present to planners and economic developers when seeking public approvals for projects. Three finance exercises involving realistic real estate developments will then be conducted. The first will demonstrate a simple project involving equity and debt but that does not involve public participation. The second will be a project that requires a public-private partnership and the consequent effects on the finances of both parties. The third will get a little more complicated as an urban redevelopment project involving not only a public-private partnership but also tax credits and tax increment financing\, demonstrating the impacts on the financial pro forma and the economic value of the investment to the developer and\, separately\, to the public entity. \nThis webcast is sponsored by the Economic Development Division. \nClick here to register: https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/560860403

SUMMARY:Making the Connection: Long-Range Planning & Economic Development
DESCRIPTION:The Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission(DVRPC)is hosting a meeting on Wednesday\, June 8\, 2011 at the Moorestown Community House\, Moorestown\, NJ. A light dinner will be served at 6 PM and the evening’s program will begin at 6:45 PM. \nThis meeting is part of a series of listening sessions held around the region. The goal of the meeting is to reach residents\, businesses\, municipalities\, organizations\, and other stakeholders in the region to inform them about DVRPC and public participation opportunities. \nPatricia Elkis\, Associate Director\, DVRPC Comprehensive Planning Unit\, and Michael Boyer\, DVRPC Manager of Long-Range Planning will present Making the Connection: Long-Range Planning and Economic Development\, which highlights various topics\, recommendations\, and initiatives undertaken by the Commission. Ms. Elkis will also present a recently completed study: The Economic Value of Protected Open Space.

SUMMARY:Impacting Economic Expansion and Retention in New Jersey: A Land Use Perspective (CM | 2.0)
DESCRIPTION:New Jersey has many assets – an educated and skilled workforce; a high quality of life; the country’s 2nd largest port; one of the nation’s busiest airports; prestigious educational institutions and corporate headquarters; one of the nation’s largest office markets\, the third largest warehouse distribution center\, a powerful global pharmaceutical hub\, a major financial center\, location amid one of the world’s most prosperous mega regions; and excellent mass transit\, intercity\, and highway services. Despite these assets\, the state’s economy – as measured either by gross domestic product or employment — has been waning\, and showing no signs of gaining positive momentum. \nMany corporations are saying that they have no plans for expanding their presence in New Jersey; some are even considering relocation outside the state. The conference will investigate how better land use planning\, investment in our infrastructure\, and regulatory reform can shape a new model for New Jersey that will attract and retain business and our competitiveness in the world markets. \nThe centerpiece of the conference will be a roll-out of the results of PlanSmart NJ’s new focus group research that queries business leaders throughout the state on what is driving their expansion and relocation decisions and how land use can play a key role in reinvigorating New Jersey’s economy. \nVisit: www.plansmartnj.org

SUMMARY:Webinar: The Revitalized Chesapeake Bay Restoration Program (CM | 1.5)
DESCRIPTION:Speakers for this webinar will be from the U.S. EPA-Chesapeake Bay Office\, the State of Maryland Department of Planning\, and the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments.  Cleanup efforts have been underway since the early 1980s through a partnership between the states of Delaware\, Maryland\, New York\, Pennsylvania\, Virginia\, and West Virginia\, the District of Columbia\, and the U.S. EPA.  Within the last two years\, to meet legal requirements\, the EPA has taken a stronger role in directing cleanup efforts with equal but full emphasis on non-point sources\, point sources\, and air quality. State strategies have been submitted to EPA and the states are working with local governmental agencies including regional planning agencies in developing local watershed plans to meet EPA requirements.  The Regional and Intergovernmental Planning Division will host this session.  A further webinar on this Chesapeake Bay Restoration Program with speakers from Pennsylvania\, Virginia\, and the EPA will be held in late July. \nClick here to register:  https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/888461339

SUMMARY:NJRA RTI Workshop: Municipal Incentives for Redevelopment - Tax Abatement (CM | 7.0)
DESCRIPTION:Tax abatements can be a powerful tool for municipalities to attract investments and redevelopment to their communities. This workshop will discuss the constitutional statues that authorize the granting of short and long-term tax exemptions and the procedural process for granting tax abatements for residential and commercial projects including establishing the PILOT payment. In addition\, the workshop will provide an opportunity to participate in the discussion on the pros and cons\, and the costs and benefits\, of tax abatements from different perspectives. HMFA and DEP tax abatement programs will also be discussed. \nProviding long-term tax exemption is an important municipal incentive to attract development but the key question is when municipalities’ should decide to use it. We will discuss the factors to consider when deciding whether or not to use tax abatements. The session will also discuss specific provisions in the municipal ordinances\, valuable terms in financial agreements\, and tactical strategies to avoid the potential public nightmare associated with granting tax abatements. An exercise will also be conducted to assess the potential economic and fiscal benefits of two projects. \nFor more info\, visit:  www.njra.us/rti

SUMMARY:Webinar: New Ideas for Bike-friendly Communities (CM | 1.5)
DESCRIPTION:Bicycling is continuing to grow as a viable option for both recreation\, as well as transportation.  While many communities have enjoyed growth in recreational bicycling\, there are many trends for bicycle facilities that improve the climate for the bicycle as transportation. This webcast will explore new ideas for planning\, designing and implementing bicycle facilities that planners can use right now in their communities.  Attendees will discover the qualities that define bicycle-friendly communities in Europe\, Canada and the United States.  Speakers will show examples of successful bike planning efforts and built bicycle facilities while discussing in detail the appropriateness of various solutions for a range of applications and plans.  The session will show how planning for bikes can be an integral part of a multi-modal transportation system.  Attendees will hear about two case studies\, one for a plan and implementation of a multi-use bike path in a downtown urban setting and another about how Indianapolis has created a city-wide bike network and achieved bronze level Bike-friendly Community recognition.  Attendees will learn how these communities worked with local stakeholders and planners to bring new ideas to successful implementation and take away new approaches that they can immediately use in their communities. \nThis webcast is sponsored by the Indiana Chapter. \nRegister Here:  https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/790070123

SUMMARY:Leading Community Building Emerging Planning Concepts For Diverse Communities (CM | 2.0)
DESCRIPTION:This session will be a forum in which experiences in building more unified and integrated communities are shared and participants are given an opportunity for questions\, comments and feedback. \nThis forum contains two sections – a presentation and a panel discussion – on the tools and strategies that are most promising to respond to the problem of communities being perhaps diverse but still not integrated. It has been documented through numerous national studies that even within diverse jurisdictions housing\, schools and civic realms remain largely separated by race\, ethnicity and/or socioeconomics. This reality is both inequitable and costly (and no longer just a burden on some groups – it harms us all). OPEN has worked for over 40 years developing practical local solutions and we’d like to share our approach to tackling this issue\, describe a theoretical model and present case studies of integrated successes. We especially want feedback from you on how to expand the toolkit and strategies. \nTakes place in Room 113. \nRSVP to ecdc.nj@gmail.com
