New Jersey Revised Statutes § 52:27d-385 - Findings, Declarations

52:27D-385. Findings, declarations
The Legislature finds and declares that customary demands on municipal services and infrastructure are amplified in municipalities having high population density. The deterioration of infrastructure is especially acute in high density areas when the use of roads and sewerage facilities far exceeds their planned specifications. Heavy concentrations of population place enormous strains on police, fire, and emergency services, health services, transportation systems, infrastructure, and sanitation facilities that cannot be adequately addressed in any municipal budget without excessively taxing already overburdened property owners. In order to maintain these systems and services at acceptable levels it is a proper State purpose to provide aid to municipalities with extreme population density to assure the health, welfare and safety of their residents.
