I attended an earlier session presented to Maplewood's older adults. Much of the material shared by the consultants is available on the town website (search for Maplewood Today). The consultants welcome feedback via email if you have anything specific you want them to consider. If you can't find contact information on the town website let me know. I may have an email address that will work. I have been told that there may be additional sessions in the summer so there could be another opportunity to participate.
Wonderful. Thank you, Joan. Yes, I spent some time looking at the Master Plan info on the town website, but couldn't find a direct general email to the Master Plan committee. If you could either post the email or DM me, that would be great.
Try masterplan@maplewoodnj.gov Let me know whether it still works.

A Master Plan is a “blueprint” for a municipality, outlining a vision for the future and community-established principles for balanced economic, social, physical, environmental, and fiscal planning. The document is not a law or regulations, but provides guidance to elected officials and stakeholders when they make land use, zoning, and capital investment decisions. Master Plans are grounded in community engagement, with additional input through review of existing plans and studies, socioeconomic analysis, and planning best practices.
Under the New Jersey Municipal Land Use Law (“MLUL”), municipalities are required to update their Master Plan at least once every 10 years. The Township of Maplewood last updated its Master Plan in 2011, and in 2021, the Township initiated the process to create its first full Master Plan since 2004.
The Township selected BFJ Planning, a New York City-based planning consultant firm, to lead a team in developing the Maplewood Master Plan. The planning process will span approximately 12 months, in three phases: an analysis of the Township’s existing conditions, recommendations, and the revised and final Master Plan.
The Maplewood community will play an essential role in identifying the key priorities, concerns, and opportunities the Master Plan should address. There will be numerous ways to get involved and give feedback to shape the plan. The Master Plan will build upon previous plans and studies completed by the Township and other agencies, but will incorporate the latest data and trends to ensure that Maplewood’s land use, planning, and zoning policies reflect the community’s conditions and concerns. A timeline of the Master Plan development process is available here.
The Master Plan Steering Committee is comprised of eight members who will meet regularly with the consultant team to guide and provide feedback as the plan develops. The Committee will report back regularly to the Maplewood Planning Board, who ultimately adopts the Master Plan under state law. Below is a list of the Committee members:

Rats. I memorized the time incorrectly, so I missed it. Did anyone here attend?
