Woodbridge contracted with Bloustein to continue their efforts for a more sustainable community through the development of a creative placemaking plan. Creative placemaking enhances community and economic development through art, culture and history as they contribute to problem resolution and are a source of innovation in local industry, business and academics.

Bloustein worked with community leaders and interested citizens to craft a creative placemaking plan that lays out a vision, goals and strategies for taking the next steps towards remaking Woodbridge creatively.

The process included numerous meetings with the township’s creative team, an update of their creative assets inventory (arts inventory) including recommendations for continued maintenance of the inventory, a review of current redevelopment centered on the arts, and identified strategies to move the plan forward.
