HOBOKEN – After the Western Edge Redevelopment plan was tabled by the City Council in late September, the community will have a chance to go back to the drawing board in early December. The Western Edge is an 11.4 acre area on Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe streets, from Ninth Street to 14th Street.
Two additional community meetings to “provide further opportunities for public input” in regards to the Western Edge Redevelopment plan have been announced. The first meeting will take place on Dec. 8 from 7 – 9 p.m. at the Elks Lodge, 1005 Washington St. Another meeting will be held on Dec. 9 from 6 – 8 p.m. at the Hoboken Public Library, located at 500 Park Ave.
The most recent plan for the Western Edge called for 581 residential units, 58,837 square feet of retail, 353,019 square feet of office space, and 58,837 square feet of business incubator space. The plan was received, for the most part, negatively at a community meeting in September.
The most recent version of the plan is available on the city website HERE.
The format of the meeting will be workshop style, as residents can come in at any time to raise their concerns. Tables will be set up so residents can provide input on issues that have been raised, according to a city release.
