The Rockefeller Group has been buying up land in northern Hoboken for a development, including the area near Burlington Coat Factory. The city is considering how to rezone the area to let them develop.
However, Councilpeople Dawn Zimmer and Peter Cunningham are concerned. They, along with community taxpayer activist Richard Pasquarelli, are hosting a public get-together/brainstorming session to talk about what should go in that neighborhood.
For more on the story, see our coverage HERE.
Here’s the release on the brainstorming session, to which you are invited:
WHAT: Community Vision session for the 19 block Northwest Area now slated for redevelopment, featuring one of the leading Green Architecture firms, SHoP Architects. The award winning firm’s notable projects include buildings for Google’s Main Campus, Garden Street Lofts here in Hoboken and a two mile waterfront park along New York’s East River.
WHEN: Wednesday, April 22, 7-9 PM
WHERE: Elks Club, Downstairs, 1005 Washington St.
WHO: The session is open to all concerned Hoboken residents.
WHY: “Development plans should begin with what the community wants, not what the developers want. This session is designed to begin to get community input assisted by experts who think outside the box and can give a sense of the possibilities.”
