Why is the transit village considered a Smart Growth redevelopment?
The proposed transit village in North Brunswick is a shining example of a Smart Growth redevelopment project. The transit village adheres to the core principles of Smart Growth by planning a mixed-use community with walkable neighborhoods, mass transit accessibility, sustainable economic and social development, and preserved green open space. Most importantly, the proposed transit village maintains the existing open space, leaving nearly 50% of the 212-acres as open green space along Route 1. The footprint of redevelopment is approximate to the footprint of the existing development (former Johnson & Johnson facility).
