It might be Solidago, leaf venation should be checked carefully as they differ and can be difficult to separate. The venation and shape of leaf is very similar to Solidago fistulosa which is in NJ. Best wait to see flowers, the leaves have more serration than the drawing shows so without flowers it's difficult to make an informed judgement.
