SUMMARY:NJ Spotlight Roundtable: Improving Energy Efficiency in New Jersey
DESCRIPTION:Few disagree with the proposition that energy efficiency is a win-win-win: For utilities\, for their customers\, and for the environment. And yet increasing energy efficiency in New Jersey is proving to be a challenge. \nWhy is New Jersey\, once a leader in energy conservation\, now in the middle of the pack among states in convincing customers to use less electricity and natural gas? The conservation incentives are clear: Customers save money\, utilities purchase less fuel\, and pollution levels harmful to the public and that contribute to climate change are reduced. \nA new state law aims to spur greater energy conservation in New Jersey by putting the onus on the state’s electric and gas utilities. Is that the right model? How to best to guide the state’s energy efficiency practices? What regulatory changes are needed to improve New Jersey’s conservation efforts? \nFind out at this NJ Spotlight roundtable. \nAttendees may submit questions for consideration in advance of the event as part of the registration process. \n\nOpening remarks: \nR. Neal Elliott\, Senior Director for Research\, American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) \nPanelists: \nStefanie Brand\, Director\, New Jersey Division of Rate Counsel \nDavid M. Daly\, President & Chief Operating Officer\, Public Service Electric & Gas Company \nIsaac Gabel-Frank\, Vice President\, Gabel Associates \nEric Miller\, Policy Counsel\, Keystone Energy Efficiency Alliance\, Energy Efficiency Alliance of New Jersey \nAdditional panelist to be named. \nModerator: \nTom Johnson\, Energy Reporter\, NJ Spotlight

SUMMARY:NJ Spotlight Roundtable: Affordable Housing in New Jersey: What's Next?
DESCRIPTION:More than 250 New Jersey municipalities have finalized with the courts and housing advocates plans that detail how many affordable homes they are allotting within their borders and where these units could be built. \nNot all of the proposed developments will happen. Towns are not obligated to build all the housing\, they simply need to allow for its construction. It’s not clear how many may be built as there is no longer a state agency overseeing the process. \nThis year\, for the first time in more than a decade\, a New Jersey governor has proposed depositing the full amount of fees received — about $60 million — into the state Affordable Housing Trust Fund in recognition of the need for more affordable housing. \nAt this NJ Spotlight roundtable experts will look briefly at the history of the affordable housing issue in New Jersey — from the Mount Laurel decisions to the current court process — and dive deeply into: \n\nWhere we are today regarding the state’s need for more affordable homes\nHow many more municipalities need to draft plans and how many units are planned?\nHow many homes are actually likely to be built? Where and when? Who’s going to pay for them?\nWhat are the prospects of the state retaking control of the process?\n\nAttendees may submit questions for consideration in advance of the event as part of the registration process. \nOpening remarks: \nPeter Reinhart\, Director\, Kislak Real Estate Institute\, Monmouth University \nPanelists: \nStaci Berger\, President and Chief Executive Officer\, Housing and Community Development Network of NJ \nChristiana Foglio\, Founder and Chief Executive Officer\, Community Investment Strategies \nAssemblywoman Holly T. Schepisi\, Assistant Republican Leader\, Member Joint Committee on Housing Affordability\, Member Joint Committee on Economic Justice and Equal Employment Opportunity\, Member Housing and Community Development Committee \nKevin Walsh\, Executive Director\, Fair Share Housing Center \nAdditional panelist to be named. \nModerator: \nColleen O’Dea\, Editor at Large\, NJ Spotlight
