HOBOKEN — A redevelopment study for the north end of town is being paid for by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey’s Local Assistance Program by way of a $75,000 grant. Once the study is completed, the city can put together guidelines for how they want the northwestern part of town developed.
“As we take these initial steps toward studying this area for redevelopment, I remain completely committed to bringing balanced development that reflects the vision of our community and not just what’s most profitable for developers,” said Mayor Dawn Zimmer, in a press release.
The city received word of the grant from the Port Authority on Dec. 28, 2010, and the contract was awarded to the firm Clarke Caton Hintz on Feb. 4.
The area for the redevelopment study includes “parcels north of 14th Street to the Hudson Bergen Light Rail line from the Palisades to Park Avenue,” according to a press release. – Ray Smith
