May-5-06 DCA Awards Over $1 Million in Smart Future Grants
“Smart Future Planning Grants are investments in our communities,” said Commissioner Levin. “These grants will allow counties and towns throughout the state to work towards implementing smart growth strategies that will directly improve the quality of life for their residents.”
Smart Future Planning Grants are part of the Smart Future Initiative, which promotes smart growth planning between municipalities and counties throughout New Jersey. They are funded through DCA’s Office of Smart Growth, which is leading the effort to promote sustainable development, protect the environment, preserve open space and revitalize older communities.
The FY2006 Smart Future Grants focus on seven key categories: design guidelines for creating places; downtown and Main Street revitalization; green building; parking; transfer of development rights; charrettes; and greyfield redevelopment.
