Study Says Pinelands Tax Impact Is Slight

NEW LISBON - An independent, analysis ol the Pinelands Plan's effect on municipal finances Has confirmed that fiscal impact of the plan will vary, but, to date, is j)pt a widespread phenomenon. Government Finance Associates, a Princeton research firm, was hired by the Pinelands Commission tb study the effect of the Pinelands Comprehensive Management Plan on the four Pinelands municipalities which had the largest percentage tax increase or the largest ratable decrease during 1981 and 1982 - OK THE F O IT K municipalities, only one ‘ township, Woodland, was found to have significant ratable loss because of the Pinelands Plan. In the -other three municipalities, increased municipal services, new -schools, and closing of an industrial plant' were seen as the primary factors affedting tax rgtes ant( assessments, not the PiMlands Plan “We wRp pleased to receive (gvifirmation," said Commission Chairman Franklin E. Parker, "that our initial economic projections that the plan would not significantly affect most Pinelarids towns were accurate." THE FINAL VERSION of the GFA report, issued Sept. 4, stated that "a major confcern of local officials and area resident^

has been that the market value of vaednt land would decline in places where development is restricted, thereby diminishing the ratable base of Pinelands municipalities." The study noted, however, that "Pinelands restrictions may enhance the value of developed properties as well as vacant land in the designated growth areas." A MAJOR FOCUS of the study was on property, tax appeals during 1980 and 1981. The study found that the Pinelands Plan’s effect on local finances in Lacey Township (Ocean County), Hamilton Township (Atlantic County), and Washington ahd Woodland Townships (Burlington County) varied according to the composition of the ratable base and other local circumstances. It .pointed out that the Pinelands could also affect municipal tax bases through state land

acquisition.

The Pinelands Commission's earlier economic study, completed prior to the adoption of the Comprehensive Management Plan, predicted that government finances in some municipalities, particularly Woodland, would be affected by the Plan. THE PINELANDS Com mission recommended in the Plan that the State Legislature establish an in-lieu-of-tax payments pro-

gram to fully reimburse Pinelands municipalities for ratables lost through state land acquisition. The Government Finance Associates report recommends thaf the Pinelands Commission continue to work for the adoption of a full tax reimbursement: program for Pinelands municipalities where state acquisition of land occurs. IT ALSO recommends an examination of alternative options that would redress potential negative impacts on, local financed, as - measured by certain tests of fiscal hardship. The commission is conducting a long-term study that will determine the plan's effect on land and housing values, employment, housing states, and tax rates throughout the Pinelands. Jhe study is scheduled to' be completed by June, 1983.

"Without job training, skilled jobs will go begging for workers, and workers will go begging for skilled jobs." Under the job voucher program, unskilled, long6rm unemployed workers ^would receive vouchers, which they would turn over to businesses willing to train them. The companies could use the vouchers to be reimbursed for a portion of the training by the federal government.
