Transcript of Vision 21 Hunterdon County, NJ July, 2003. The Hunterdon County Planning Board is preparing a new...
The Hunterdon County Planning Board is preparing a new Growth Management Plan.
The Plan will provide recommendations for growth and preservation based on input from county residents and a regional planning perspective.
Vision21 is the County’s public outreach program to find out how residents want the County to grow in the
21st century.
Vision21
Our master plans are required to have land use
goals. But without an overall context or vision,
there is no assurance that the goals are mutually
compatible. The vision is what all of the goals
should be working towards.
Vision21 consists of
• Public Opinion Survey
• Bus Tour of New Developments
• Internet-based Community Design Survey
• Public Forum to share results of the above activities and create a Vision for our County’s
future
Vision21
The following slides summarize results from our
Public Opinion Survey and Internet Survey.
A complete report describing the results of these surveys,
and a report summarizing public comments from our Bus
Tour can be viewed by visiting our Smart Growth website.
(Please see last slide for website address).
