As the City of East Orange's Principal Planner, I oversee the application process for projects going before the planning and zoning boards and assist the zoning division in facilitating a variety of application requests in addition to advising on land use policy in general, but my paramount focus is the economic growth for the residents of this uniquely positioned community. As a municipality that can be accessed via the Garden State Parkway and Interstate 280 with two NJ Transit commuter train stations (i.e. East Orange Station and Brick Church Station) that are a short distance from Newark and New York's Penn Station, I feel nothing but hopeful in the growing prosperity of the city. Enhancing the city's Urban Enterprise Zone program is critically important in giving city staff and businesses in the UEZ area the necessary tools to achieve the growth expected for a community with so many attractive qualities
