New Jersey Future was founded
to achieve smart growth statewide: growth that protects New Jersey’s
open lands and natural resources, strengthens our communities, makes it
easier to get around, and increases our housing choices. New Jersey Future
fulfills this mission through original research, policy analysis, public
education, and advocacy.
