South Jersey Regional Development Forum – A Discussion on the Growth Fit Model

On November 3, 2005 the Senator Walter Rand Institute hosted the first South Jersey Regional Development Forum which featured a discussion on the Growth Fit Model as presented by the Builder’s League of South Jersey. This forum was held in an effort to foster open and productive discussions of critical issues facing development in southern New Jersey. The outcomes of this discussion included: identifying the need for media support and an outreach plan to educate the public about these issues, the crucial nature of further discussions regarding these issues and the need to incorporate environmental issues into this discussion.
