Summary: In Spring 2013, NJ TRANSIT, as part of Together North Jersey (TNJ), the USHUD funded regional planning effort for the 13-county northern NJ region, began the Hoboken Green Infrastructure Strategic Plan as part of the Regional Plan for Sustainable Development. This project, one of 18 competitively-selected Local Demonstration Projects sponsored by TNJ, focused on:

• Creating a framework for green infrastructure on both a city-wide and
  district by district basis;
• Identifying the most cost-effective place-based best management practices (BMP) the City can employ to address stormwater management and the anticipated increase in frequency of flooding events;
• Understanding how these measures can improve the resilience of Hoboken's transit infrastructure.
• Locating and prioritizing the assets and priorities most in need of protection;
• Developing a set of strategies the City can employ to implement the Plan.
