This Orientation is co-sponsored by the New Jersey Pinelands Commission and the Pinelands Municipal Council, who held their bi-monthly meeting as part of this Orientation.

Attendees learned how their community’s Master Plan and zoning ordinances relate to the Pinelands CMP and how the permitting of development is coordinated at the State, Regional, County, and Municipal levels and how to get quick answers to questions their constituents have about Pinelands programs and regulations.
“This was the fifteenth annual Orientation. The event was well-attended; I do, however, want to again remind the 53 Mayors of the Pinelands area and their designees of the importance of attending these bi-monthly meetings. I commend the Pinelands Commission staff on their presentations.
