About the State Planning Commission and Office of Planning Advocacy

The State Planning Commission, formed in 1986 by the State Planning Act, is a 17-member body charged with regularly revising the State Development and Redevelopment Plan, to provide a coordinated, integrated and comprehensive plan for the growth, development, renewal and conservation of the State and its regions and which shall identify areas for growth, agriculture, open space conservation and other appropriate designations.

The Office of Planning Advocacy, part of the New Jersey Business Action Center, is currently focused on the Plan Endorsement process for those municipalities that have expressed an interest in extending their Center designation. The office is also updating the Plan Endorsement process to improve its efficiency.
