In 2004, the Pinelands Commission appointed the Housing Task Force to review, update and revise, as necessary, housing capacity projections for Pinelands Regional Growth Areas to determine how much population growth should be anticipated within the Pinelands Area. The Task Force has recommended ways to apportion future growth within the Pinelands amongst the 24 Regional Growth Areas, taking into account the land use and environmental programs of the Pinelands Comprehensive Management Plan (CMP), development opportunities elsewhere in the Pinelands, and general constraints and opportunities that may influence those areas’ability to accommodate future growth.
