Land Development and Planning Award Nominations Sought

Oct. 16 Deadline

 

 

The Somerset County Planning Board is seeking nominations for its 27th Annual Land Development and Planning Awards program.  The Deadline for nominations is Friday, October 16. 

 

Since its inception, a wide range of development projects have been recognized through the planning award program.  While each project represents a different kind of land development, they are all indicative of high levels of design and creativity being encouraged in Somerset County.

 

Nominations are being sought in the categories of residential, adaptive use, commercial, industrial, public/institutional, smart growth, green building design and excellence in planning.  Entries will be judged by the Somerset County Planning Board.

 

Awards are presented for imaginative planning, innovative site design, adaptive use projects, and projects that demonstrate cooperation with the community and promote sound planning practices.

 

For information about nomination criteria, contact Supervising Planner Thomas D’Amico, Somerset County Planning Board, at (908) 231-7021 or at planningbd@co.somerset.nj.us.
