Find out how state, regional, and local planners developed and implemented an economic strategic plan for reinventing former industrial towns along a freight railroad into vibrant, mixed-use Main Streets.
Employment centers and transit-oriented development have been built along the NJ Transit RiverLine, a new commuter light-rail line. Redevelopment opportunities continue to emerge as these Delaware River towns attract new residents and visitors. Within the urbanized areas are two county parks, Taylor's Wildlife Preserve, the Palmyra Nature Cove, and the Delaware River Heritage Bicycle Trail that runs between Trenton and Philadelphia.
Visit highly populated, overburdened communities characterized by minority, foreign-born, and low-income populations. They are walkable and transit friendly and provide affordable and diverse housing options while preserving open space and creating environments for everyone to experience and learn about nature.
Learning Objectives:
Visualize how towns can provide an array of land uses that are accessible by multiple public-transit options.
Develop ways to integrate open spaces, trails and interpretative centers into an urban landscape.
Coordinate with multiple agencies and towns to achieve regional goals.
