SUMMARY:Mind the Gap: The Importance of Providing Housing for All New Jerseyans
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW\nPolicy Briefing\nMind the Gap: The Importance of Providing Housing for All New Jerseyans \nOctober 14\, 2016\nThe Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy\n8:30 AM – 11:00 AM \nThe future of Affordable Housing in New Jersey has been tangled up in the courts for years with no clear end in sight. While policymakers\, far removed from the daily struggles of low-income residents\, work their way through this political stalemate many low and moderate-income residents struggle to find decent housing near job opportunities. The state has focused so heavily on COAH that the more important issue of providing housing at a variety of price points and in the right locations is being overlooked. \nNew Jersey’s failure to plan for and provide housing at the right price is encouraging outmigration and affecting the economy. The panel will discuss the ramifications of such shortfalls\, the need to move forward with planning for affordable housing\, and the benefits to neighborhood stability and investment when affordable housing is made available. New Jersey cannot afford to wait for the court’s decision\, we must begin to plan for and provide a variety of housing choices for all New Jerseyans\, including the middle class. \nAgenda\n8:30 – 9:00 – Registration and networking continental breakfast \n9:00 – 9:30 – Update and Overview of Recent Court Rulings – Henry Kent-Smith\, Esq.\, Fox Rothschild \n9:30 – 10:55 – Panel Discussion \n\nJudge Peter Buchsbaum\, Esq.: Retired\,\nModerator\nJames W. Hughes\, Ph.D.: Distinguised Professor and Dean\, The Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy\nChanging demographics and trends in New Jersey\nCaren Franzini: President\, Franzini Consultanting\, LLC\nUsing housing as a strategy to stabilize communities and attract investment\nCharles Latini\, PP\, AICP: Managing Partner\, L&G Planning\, LLC\nThe benefits of planning for a variety of housing types\nArnold Cohen: Senior Policy Coordinator\, Housing and Community Development Network of New Jersey\nThe important role of non-profits in providing housing\n\n10:55 – 11:00 – Closing Remarks – Ann Brady\, PlanSmart NJ \nWe will gladly refund reservations until two weeks before the event. \nWe have applied for: AICP CM Credits\, NJ CLE Credit\, RMC & CPWM Municipal Credits \nPresented with: APA-NJ and NJBA

This 66th NJDI features a day-long intensive workshop teaching how to run a business recruitment program within a variety of budgets and staffing constraints. Shopper interest in downtown business districts continues to rise as a preferred alternative to the mall or shopping center experience\, but how well can your district attract visitors if it is dominated by nail salons\, professional offices\, or vacant storefronts? \nThere is something that you can do to manage your retail mix\, and this NJDI is a full day training program that will teach you the principals and techniques of that process. The program focuses on three goals to help you: \n\nIdentify the nature of your retail district\, and its retail potential\nLearn the process that major retailers and shopping center managers use to recruit retailers;\nDevelop skills that you can apply in your district to begin recruiting retail businesses\n\nThe workshop is designed for downtown management and revitalization program staff\, board and volunteers\, as well as elected and appointed officials who want to get ‘under the hood’ of locally-driven business recruitment. \nAgenda\n8:15 – 9:00 am Coffee\, Networking\, and Registration9:00 – 9:45 am Introduction: The principals of retail recruiting9:45 – 10:30 am Many kinds of retail district—what kind is yours?10:30 – 10:45 am Break11:00 -11:30 am What’s important?

For over 25 years\, JGSC has been bringing the tools that they originally developed for major malls into the business districts of communities with downtown retail centers. With their help\, small business districts have been able to understand the nature of their district\, determine their optimal potential retail mix\, and to manage their mix by recruiting the retail businesses that they want and need.

SUMMARY:2016 Regional Planning Summit: Repurpose\, Reuse\, Revitalize
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW\nNew Jersey led the nation in developing isolated\, single use office parks\, today\, New Jersey is experiencing an exodus of corporate employers\, leaving behind large underutilized office buildings and retail centers and the land on which they sit. While these sites currently are a drain on the economy\, they also represent an enormous opportunity to redevelop and redesign the suburbs to be more dynamic\, connected\, and sustainable. If repurposed correctly\, New Jersey could lead the nation in how suburbs can be redesigned to be more efficient. The Regional Planning Summit: Repurpose\, Reuse\, Revitalize will highlight opportunities and success stories on how stranded real estate assets can be turned into dynamic communities. \nDon’t miss this great opportunity to learn from the experiences of leaders in the innovative reuse of failing properties! \nKeynote Speaker:  Greg Lindsay\, Globalization\, Innovation\, and the Future of the Suburbs \nGreg Lindsay is a journalist\, urbanist\, futurist\, and speaker. He focuses on the intersection of transportation\, urbanization\, and globalization\, and his writing has appeared in numerous outlets\, including The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. His book\, Aerotropolis: The Way We’ll Live Next\, discusses the future of how we will live and do business. He brings a unique perspective to the table about how globalization\, innovation\, and the future of cities will affect our everyday built environments in the years to come. \nPanel topics to include: \nWhy Stranded Assets Are So ImportantMillions of dollars of infrastructure investments have been made in New Jersey’s suburban office parks and retail centers\, many of which sit underutilized and have become a drain on the economy. A range of officials\, planners\, and developers must work together to revitalize these sites so they flourish economically and environmentally. \nThe Stranded Assets Problem; How Big is it?PlanSmart NJ has conducted an extensive statewide analysis of vacancies in office parks and retail centers. The findings will be presented and set the stage for a call to action to repurpose struggling assets. \nIt Is All About FinancingVacant and underutilized properties can have quite an impact on municipal budgets. Repurposing can be costly but PILOTs can provide incentives to developers to repurpose and plug holes in municipal budgets. \nCoordination and Leadership: Success StoriesSuccess doesn’t just happen. It takes persistence\, cooperation and leadership to bring all players to the table and agree on a shared vision. \nAchieving Multiple Goals through InnovationReimagining how a site may be reused is also an opportunity to think about how the site may function and achieve multiple goals. By building upon existing infrastructure and incorporating innovations in energy and green infrastructure these properties can be utilized to enhance sustainable goals and increase efficiency\, while meeting affordable housing needs. \nSupporting Vibrant Communities across the StateWhat makes the state economy flourish? Vibrant communities that not only attract businesses and residents\, but also maintain them for the long-term. Meeting this goal takes a comprehensive statewide approach with local support. This panel will discuss numerous state-level recommendations that will help promote the success of New Jersey’s suburbs\, such as reinvigorating the State Plan\, marketing regional assets\, addressing regulatory barriers and promoting workforce development. \nPreliminary Recommendations and Next Steps: Ann Brady\, PlanSmart NJ \nWe have applied to provide:AICP CM CreditsCLE CreditsRMC and CPWM Municipal Credits

SUMMARY:Transit Supportive Development Forum
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW\nInterested in learning the ins and outs of implementing transit supportive and transit-oriented development in your community? Want to learn more about funding opportunities and available resources? Then register for the NJTPA’s Transit Supportive Development Forum!The free event will be held on Tuesday\, May 24th\, from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.\, at New Jersey Institute of Technology’s Campus Center Ballroom\, 2nd Floor. \nTransit Oriented Development (TOD) seeks to create vibrant communities with compact\, walkable\, mixed-use development centered on rail or bus transit systems. Transit Supportive Development (TSD) is a more general policy approach integrating regional transit investment with local land use. It is applicable to communities that may not yet have extensive transit service but seek to create denser\, more walkable areas conducive to future transit expansion and TOD. \nThe forum is a perfect opportunity for elected municipal and county officials\, as well as anyone interested in transit supportive development\, to learn best practices and hear success stories from those who have made such development happen in their communities.Participants will learn about the process of TOD/TSD planning and implementation\, available resources\, financial mechanisms and more. Featured speakers will include experienced municipalities\, federal and state grant and incentive providers and developers experienced in bundling public and private financial resources. \nRegistration deadline extended to May 18th.  There is no charge for the event.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Forging Neighborhoods for all Generations
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW\nA powerful new reality and a profound demographic transformation is an aging America. That baby boomers are swelling the ranks of older Americans is well-documented. This profound demographic transition is challenging communities struggling to maintain the status quo\, and\, is overwhelming to government and community policymakers at all levels. Preparing for this wave is viewed as a political and economic liability – impacting social security\, healthcare costs and services..and placing an added burden on the young. As the vast majority of older adults want to age in place\, they are creating a demand for communities that are age friendly. Age-friendly communities are friendly to all ages\, not just older adults. Ultimately\, young and old want the same things: an environment that allows them to participate and thrive. Financing age-friendly initiatives do not have to be costly. Planners and local governments should give attention to multigenerational planning and the work underway in cities developing more age-friendly communities – from New York to Honolulu – who are taking creative steps to build their adaptive capacity\, optimize opportunities and cultivate synergies for community change.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Utilizing public-private partnerships for local and region innovation
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW\nWe live in aworld with much uncertainty about federal level transportation legislation andsufficient funding to maintain existing infrastructure in our communities. With this level of uncertainty about policy and funding\, it can be difficult at the local level to think about projects like bike share\, which can take years to plan and large capital investments to fund. However\, data and research indicatethat millennials and boomers want livable communities where they can live\,work\, and play without having to get into a car. Mobility preferences andtrends are expanding beyond a single occupancy vehicle and cities and townsthat explore and provide safe multimodal transportation options are thriving. Albuquerque’sdowntown pilot bike share\, BICI (ashortened version of bicicleta\, the Spanish word for bicycle and pronounced“bee-see”) launched on May 15\, 2015\, with 15 stations and 75 bicycles amere seven months after local planners started working on the project. Througha creative partnership between the DowntownABQ MainStreet Initiative and the Mid-Region Council of Governments\, and through public-private funding\, Albuquerque was able to realize the first phase of BICI for residents andvisitors. Participants will learn how Albuquerque made BICI a reality without initialmajor capital investments and how the program will continue and grow.
