The Future of New Jersey
SUNDAY
Energy: New Jersey?s energy future has something for everybody ? including controversy ? as state officials advance plans to nourish the clean energy market but also rely more on cheap and plentiful natural gas.
MONDAY
New Jersey
?s cities: The challenge for New Jersey?s cities is to capitalize on the fact they?re virtually blank slates, allowing for towns to redefine themselves.
TUESDAY
Transportation: Federal money, or the lack of it, will determine the course of transportation improvements and maintenance during the next decade. And the outlook for more money coming from Washington is pessimistic at best.
TODAY
Business innovation: A transformation is underway in New Jersey in the aftermath of a recession that cost the state 265,000 jobs, or 6.5 percent of its employment. Experts think research companies can help jump-start the sluggish recovery.
THURSDAY
Sustainability: Individuals and organizations are embracing sustainability, say New Jersey's environmental leaders, but but we have yet to institutionalize that commitment in law.
FRIDAY
Agriculture: High land prices and ubiquitous development combine to create a perfect marriage in New Jersey: small farms that grow specialized crops and lots of customers. But to be profitable, farmers have to woo customers into buying directly at their farms.
SATURDAY
Education: Public-private partnerships and charter schools are among the initiatives that could radically change the face of public education in New Jersey.
SUNDAY, JAN. 1
The shore: The Jersey Shore area can expect growth and more flooding in the not-so-distant future, experts say, a hazardous mix that can lead to increased property damage and storm water pollution.
MONDAY, JAN. 2
Gaming: Policy makers are struggling to find the right medicine for New Jersey?s ailing horse racing and casino industries. Legalized sports betting may be on the horizon, but the one thing that some experts say could save racetracks ? slot machines ? is still a non-starter with Gov. Chris Christie.
TUESDAY, JAN. 3
Population trends: Baby boomers reach retirement age, facing economic uncertainty they may not have anticipated, and their generation is finally outnumbered by their children. Foreign-born residents continue to drive growth, particularly Hispanics.
Editor?s note: With New Jersey facing a crucial period in which its future will be decided, New Jersey Press Media newspapers have taken a hard look at a number of areas where the Garden State will be experiencing significant change. For this 10-part series, we interviewed experts, local difference-makers and entrepreneurs about what New Jersey will look like and what it could or should look like.
