Rutherford Master Plan

The master plan, a policy document adopted by the Planning Board, provides a blueprint for achieving the Borough’s desired future. It forms the basis for sound land use, infrastructure and capital spending decisions. The content of the plan and the adoption process are governed by New Jersey Municipal Land Use Law. Though the Borough has met its statutory obligations with adoption of Reexamination Reports in 1997 and 2003, the last comprehensive plan was adopted in 1977. Final adoption of the master plan is expected by June, 2007.
