Pinelands Commission to Hold Annual Orientation July 25

WOODBINE – The Pinelands Commission will hold its annual Pinelands Orientation for Newly Elected and Appointed Officials and an Update for other elected or appointed municipal officials July 25, 2017, from 4 to 7:30 p.m. at the Pinelands Commission Headquarters, Richard J. Sullivan Center, 15 Springfield Road, Pemberton, NJ. This Orientation is co-sponsored by the New Jersey Pinelands Commission and the Pinelands Municipal Council.
This year’s event will feature a special presentation on cell towers.
This Orientation will include the July meeting of the Pinelands Municipal Council.
Besides being helpful to elected and appointed officials who serve a community affected by the New Jersey Pinelands Comprehensive Plan (CMP), this seminar presents an opportunity for a local official to meet the Pinelands Commission Executive Director and senior staff and to discuss Pinelands issues from a local perspective, while meeting and networking with other local officials throughout the Pinelands region.
Attendees will learn 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.
Registration is required by July 21. There is no cost for the seminar and dinner will be provided. Any questions and to register, please call Paul Leakan at the Pinelands Commission (609-894-7300).
All are invited to attend the Pinelands Municipal Council meeting and get an opportunity to meet the representatives of the 53 Pinelands municipalities that offer suggestions and recommendations to the Commission on issues that impact their communities.
