 Going Forward
Planning, Development & Preservation
     Montclair is a special place in many ways and one of its foremost characteristics is its physical beauty. The pressure to create more tax ratables and the demand for sites by builders must be tempered by a commitment to maintain the beauty of the township and all its neighborhoods. We will use “smart growth” to develop land-use strategies that conserve what is best in Montclair while advancing selected residential and commercial developments.
