Plan Endorsement Process

Plan Endorsement encourages municipalities to engage in cooperative regional planning. It ensures that municipal, county, regional and State Agency plans are consistent with the State Development and Redevelopment Plan and with each other. An endorsed plan entitles municipalities and counties to a higher priority for available funding, streamlined permit reviews, and coordinated state agency services. Priority is given to county and regional strategic plans.

Please contact OSG at 609-292-7156 or via email at osgmail@dca.state.nj.us with any questions or concerns, for notification regarding Plan Endorsement petitions, or to request copies of any petition materials.
