Economic & Housing Development
The mission of the Department of Economic and Housing Development is to create economic opportunity for Newark residents and enhance the vibrancy of our city. To this end, the department seeks to position Newark to take advantage of its unique assets, including its strategic location, a diverse and underutilized workforce, a large amount of developable land, concentration of corporate and business service firms, several major universities, and a wealth of arts and cultural assets.
The Department of Economic and Housing Development includes the following divisions:
- Planning and Community Development, which guides the growth and preservation of the city through informed and thoughtful regulation and analysis of land use, economic and social conditions, and transportation, infrastructure, and environmental systems to ensure appropriate development, protect historic and cultural assets, and engage all stakeholders in an open and transparent process.
- Director’s Office, which provides leadership in the effort to achieve the various goals and objectives of the department.
- Housing Assistance, which administers the new construction and rehabilitation/renovation of safe, affordable housing and public facilities and nonprofit owned, non-residential facilities
- Logistics and Industrial Opportunities, which provides Newark residents with business and workforce development opportunities at the Newark Liberty International Airport, Port Newark, and the surrounding area.
- Office of Boards and Commissions, which provides guidance to property owners and developers regarding the use and physical development of land, as well as the regulation of residential rents.
- Property Management, which provides real estate management services for properties acquired by the City of Newark until they can be returned to the city tax rolls.
