The State Plan Update Map Viewer provides a window into how the NJ State Development and Redevelopment Plan has helped to shape New Jersey's growth since its 1985 inception and the 2001 update. The Viewer is powered by Rowan University's NJ MAP project. Users can explore the patterns of development and open space and the geography of the state's diverse communities and natural resources. This map viewer aims to inform all stakeholders in the update process in order to facilitate a future state plan that best enables a sustainable future.
