Center Overview

The Institute for Meadowlands Studies (IMS) studies issues unique to the ten Bergen County and four Hudson County communities that comprise the New Jersey Meadowlands Commission's planning region. Research areas include public finance, including the region's tax-base sharing mandate; land use issues, including infill and transit-oriented development; economic development, including ecotourism; and environmental enhancement, including residential green building and historic preservation strategies. Semiannual conferences on economic issues bring private-sector stakeholders and public officials together on issues of concern to the fourteen inclusive communities and the state.
