07/17/08 CITY’S MASTER PLAN OUTLINES LONG RANGE VISION FOR BRIDGETON


The Master Plan for the City of Bridgeton, described as “a document with many moving parts” by one participant in the process, will address such key areas as future development, code enforcement, the Bridgeton Historic District,
Planning and Zoning considerations and economic development.

The next public meeting will take place on Thursday, July 31, 2008 at 7:00 p.m.
at the Marino Center located at 11 Washington Street, Bridgeton, New Jersey.
This July 31st public meeting is the third since November 2007 at the Marino Center, with each meeting providing officials and those charged with the task of revising the Master Plan an invaluable opportunity to receive public input on the future of the community.

The City’s Master Plan has specific parts or elements that determine the scope of the plan. These constitute proposals for the physical, economic, and social development of the municipality. The plan addresses land use, housing, pedestrian and vehicle circulation, open space and recreation, streetscapes, Bridgeton’s riverfront and a host of related topics.

The Master Plan for the City speaks to the interrelationship of Bridgeton’s objectives with those of other municipalities, as well as the County and State plans.
“We encourage all citizens to attend the meetings and participate in the process. Citizen participation is vital to the future success of the City”, said Mayor Begley.
