As Freeholders we will pursue policies that enact responsible development and economic growth. We are in favor of impact fees on developers to pay for services. Developers need to pay their share to off set the cost and deflate the cost of building roads, sewers, schools, ect. The State Plan can allocate financial resources to local municipalities. The State Plan is important for curbing urban sprawl and is geared toward responsible development.
Home rule is important in working with the State Plan.
Local municipalities can best use the funds that can be provided under the plan. We will work with local governments to do this. This development will be of some importance today, but will be of vast importance in the years and decades to come. Living in the most urbanized State in the Union, we can only expect that transportation, in the form of air travel, to be an essential ingredient in our commercial and recreational life. The formation of a citizens advisory committee to monitor the environment and noise control will be essential to the expanded airport's success.
