NJ Future Redevelopment Forum 2020 - Bayoh
This document discusses place-based economic development in downtowns and outlines several key principles: communicate frequently with community members and build with the community rather than simply for it; take an inclusive, mixed-income approach to development that benefits existing residents; and prioritize creating affordable housing and local job opportunities through partnerships with developers and community insight. Specific development projects in Newark and Irvington, NJ are mentioned that aim to follow these principles.
