SUMMARY:New Jersey’s New State Plan: What It Means for the Future
DESCRIPTION:On December 17\, 2025\, the New Jersey State Planning Commission adopted the first new State Development and Redevelopment Plan in nearly 25 years. Developed through collaboration across all levels of government\, the plan provides a framework to guide growth\, land use\, and development across New Jersey. \nThe plan is supported by two companion documents: an Impact Assessment\, produced by Rowan University and Rutgers University\, and an Infrastructure Needs Assessment\, by Rutgers’ Alan M. Voorhees Transportation Center. Join us for a discussion of the plan and two companion studies examining the impact of state planning and the infrastructure needed to support New Jersey’s future growth. \nPanelists: \n\nWalter C. Lane\, PP\, AICP\, Executive Director\, New Jersey Office of Planning Advocacy\nLisa R. Avichal\, Senior Planner\, New Jersey Office of Planning Advocacy\nSteve J. Simone PP\, AICP\, Senior Planner\, New Jersey Office of Planning Advocacy\nDr. Qian He\, AICP\, Assistant Professor\, Rowan University\nLeigh Ann Von Hagen\, AICP\, PP \, Executive Director\, Rutgers Alan M. Voorhees Transportation Center\nModerator: Clint Andrews\, Distinguished Professor; Associate Dean for Research; and Director\, Rutgers Center for Urban Policy Research\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event is presented by the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy\, with support from the New Jersey Office of Planning Advocacy. \n\n\n\n\n  \nThe Ruth Ellen Steinman Bloustein and Edward J. Bloustein Memorial Lecture was established to honor the memory of these two extraordinary individuals. For nearly nineteen years\, the Blousteins dedicated their enormous energies to Rutgers\, The State University of New Jersey. The fund was established in 1988 after Ruth Ellen died following a long and heroic battle with illness. Sadly\, there was cause to broaden the purpose of the fund a year later when Edward Bloustein\, Rutgers’ beloved president\, died suddenly in December of 1989. \nThe endowment supports an annual lecture series\, that may include one to three lectures per academic year\, that is intended to celebrate the values and interests Ruth Ellen and Ed cherished and cultivated throughout their lives.

SUMMARY:Bloustein Studio Day 2026
DESCRIPTION:We invite you to join us for Bloustein Studio Day\, an opportunity to engage with and reflect on planning practice as Bloustein students present real-world work they have been developing all semester in partnership with government agencies\, nonprofits\, and community organizations across New Jersey. \nThis year’s seven studio presentations span some of today’s most pressing planning challenges from Complete Streets and active transportation in Linwood\, to affordable housing and public health\, to climate resilience and municipal land use planning. Our graduate students have worked with clients including Hudson County’s Division of Planning\, the NJ Bike and Walk Coalition\, the NJ Hospital Association\, and the Montclair Center BID\, among others. \nThe event will also feature an expert panel of distinguished planning practitioners and Bloustein alumni including Christiana Foglio\, DC’84\, MCRP ’86 (Community Investment Strategies)\, Eric Enderlin\, MCRP ’98 (NYC Housing Development Corporation)\, Leigh Ann Von Hagen ’93 (Alan M. Voorhees Transportation Center)\, and Pallavi Shinde MCRP ’12 (Director of Planning and Zoning\, City of Newark). \nSee the full agenda\, panelist bios\, and descriptions about each studio here. \nBloustein Studio Day offers an inspiring look at the next generation of planners putting their skills to work. Please see the attached flyer with agenda\, descriptions of each studio\, and more information about the panelists. We hope to see you there! \nRSVP HERE
