The Borough of Rumson is beginning a review of its Master Plan. Our Master Plan is a long-term document adopted by the Planning Board and endorsed by Mayor and Borough Council that guides the community’s future direction, development and growth.

 

In accordance with the state statue on Land Use, as we prepare for the upcoming review of The Borough’s Master Plan, we are asking residents to share their opinions with us. Whether you’ve lived in Rumson for decades, or just recently moved in, we want to hear your thoughts, concerns, and ideas so we can better understand what residents value most when it comes to our direction, development, continued growth throughout the Borough.

 

What we’re asking for

Please take a few minutes to complete our Master Plan Resident Feedback Form. Your feedback will help inform the Master Plan review process and support the Planning Board’s work as it considers the Borough’s priorities for the years ahead.

 

What are we looking for? Your thoughts on:

• Preserving Rumson’s character and neighborhoods

• Traffic, pedestrian safety, and local mobility

• Parks, recreation, and open space

• Housing, land use, and community needs

• Local services, infrastructure, and long-term planning priorities

• Environmental resilience, flooding, and conservation

 

What information our form collects

The form will request your name, address, phone number, and email address, along with a text box for your feedback. This helps ensure responses are Rumson resident-based and allows the Borough to follow up with you if clarification is needed.

Please know that we cannot guarantee all thoughts, ideas and feedback will be used as we plan for the next phase of our long-term community development. However, your feedback is an important part of planning thoughtfully for Rumson’s future and we look forward to hearing your thoughts.
