Peter Reinhart, who recently retired as director of Monmouth University\u2019s Kislak Real Estate Institute, will be honored by New Jersey Future with its annual Cary Edwards Leadership Award on Dec. 15 to recognize his decades of service and commitment to smart, fair, and resilient growth in New Jersey across the government, nonprofit, academic, and business sectors. Named for former New Jersey Attorney General and long-serving Monmouth University trustee W. Cary Edwards, the award recognizes individuals who have an outstanding commitment to improving quality of life and promoting smart growth in New Jersey through sustainable land-use policy and practice.<\/p>\n

Presentation of the award will be capstone of New Jersey Future\u2019s 2020 Smart Growth Awards, which will occur as a virtual celebration. Preregistration is required for the free event which will run from 4 – 5 p.m.<\/p>\n

An influential and highly regarded member of New Jersey\u2019s professional real estate community, Reinhart is well known for his work bridging real estate development and smart growth. Prior to becoming its director, he was honored by the Kislak Real Estate Institute in 2010 with a service to industry award while he was serving as senior vice president and general counsel of Hovnanian Enterprises, Inc. At Monmouth, Reinhart was the first recipient of the Arthur and Dorothy Greenbaum and Robert Ferguson\/New Jersey Realtors Endowed Chair in Real Estate Policy in 2015.<\/p>\n

Reinhart became a leader in the affordable housing movement early on in his career. Having studied the long history of housing segregation and the efforts underway to reverse it as a Rutgers Camden Law School student in the early 1970s, Reinhart found himself immersed in the issue in 1983 when the New Jersey Supreme Court decided Mount Laurel II, requiring municipalities to provide housing for low- and moderate-income families. In his role with K. Hovnanian, Reinhart actively sought out opportunities for the firm to build \u201cinclusionary\u201d developments and became active in the legislation that became the Fair Housing Act, which moved responsibility for the affordable housing doctrine from the courts to the Council on Affordable Housing (COAH). In 1993, Reinhart was appointed by Governor James Florio to COAH where he continued to serve under numerous governors.<\/p>\n

Some of Reinhart\u2019s most significant impacts on smart growth policy have been in the area of resilience. He joined the New Jersey Future Board of Trustees in 2007 and has been chair since 2011. Following Superstorm Sandy in 2012, Reinhart was instrumental in establishing New Jersey Future as a statewide leader on resilience. He immediately recognized that, as a statewide organization dedicated to smart land use policy, New Jersey Future should be working to help the state\u2019s vulnerable coastal communities become more resilient and sustainable. Under Reinhart\u2019s leadership, New Jersey Future is also working at the national level to develop a model for disaster recovery that improves equity, resilience, and sustainability outcomes, and that provides a template for other states to use in their disaster-resilience efforts.<\/p>\n

Founded in 1987, New Jersey Future is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that promotes sensible growth, redevelopment, and infrastructure investments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
