January 30, 2025

Genova Burns Partner and Commercial Real Estate & Redevelopment specialist Gerard D. Pizzillo, Esq. was a featured panelist at the Meadowlands Chamber’s "Eggs and Issues" event on January 29th, where industry leaders gathered to discuss emergent land use and development challenges in New Jersey.

As a recognized authority in real estate, zoning, and regulatory compliance, Mr. Pizzillo brought his deep expertise to a dynamic discussion on affordable housing responsibilities and opportunities, analyzing the latest New Jersey Department of Community Affairs (DCA) municipal requirements and how they shape development strategies across the state. His insights provided attendees with a roadmap for navigating affordable housing obligations while identifying growth opportunities within evolving regulatory frameworks.

Mr. Pizzillo's morning panel, "Affordable Housing Responsibilities and Opportunities," addressed the increasing demands placed on municipalities and developers, exploring best practices to balance compliance with economic feasibility. In the afternoon, discussions shifted toward the New Jersey Protecting Against Climate Threats (NJPACT) regulations and the newly introduced Resilient Environments & Landscapes (REAL) rules. These environmental regulations will significantly impact land use and development strategies, requiring industry professionals to adapt to heightened climate resilience and sustainability mandates.

Mr. Pizzillo’s participation underscores Genova Burns' commitment to guiding clients through complex regulatory landscapes, ensuring businesses, developers, and municipalities stay ahead of emerging legal and policy shifts.
