County Master Plan comments due May 31
Suggestions encouraged via mail, email or fax

Public comment and suggestions about Monmouth County’s Draft Master Plan will be accepted through the end of the month.

“The objective is to incorporate plausible ideas that benefit our communities and stakeholders,” said Serena DiMaso, Freeholder Deputy Director and a freeholder representative on the County’s Planning Board. “Implementing a workable plan involves an ongoing dialogue and openness that improves the initial concepts that were proposed. The County welcomes the expertise many residents possess and anticipate their feedback.”

Comments must be submitted by 4 p.m. on Tuesday, May 31, 2016 using one of the following methods:

• mail to Monmouth County Planning Board, Master Plan Comments, One East Main Street, Freehold, NJ 07728
• email to planning@co.monmouth.nj.us
• fax to 732-409-7540

The Master Plan documents, updates and additional information are available on the County website at www.visitmonmouth.com. For more information, call the Division of Planning at 732-431-7460.

The Draft Master Plan was presented on Tuesday, May 10 at an open house at the County’s Agricultural Building.

“When completed, this countywide Master Plan will focus on redevelopment, revitalization and rediscovery of communities throughout the County,” said Freeholder Lillian G. Burry, who is the freeholder liaison to the Planning Board. “It is important to remember that the master planning process also recognizes that each municipality has its own character and identity. Comprehensive planning relies on the use of emerging technologies as well as traditional methods of input from citizens and stakeholders.”

The County’s Master Plan reinforces a public policy investment strategy throughout the County, provides complimentary elements identified in the Municipal Land Use Law (MLUL) for assistance in development of municipal master plans, and includes documents adopted by reference and incorporated into the Master Plan.
