Public Invited To Redevelopment Talk At Multi Service Center

Nothing to do tonight? This came in from City Hall: 

On Tuesday night the city will be hosting a "Redevelopment 101" seminar to educate the public on the redevelopment process.

"My Administration takes public input very seriously," said Mayor Dawn Zimmer. "As we move forward with various redevelopment projects, an informed public will be in a position to offer the feedback we need to reflect our community's vision for our City."

The event, which will take place at the Multi Service Center, 124 Grand Street, from 7 to 9 p.m., will be taped, replayed on television, and posted on the City website.

Redevelopment attorney Joe Maraziti of Maraziti, Falcon, & Healey will speak in general terms about the redevelopment process from start to finish, while Jong Sook Nee of McManimon & Scotland will explain the financing tools that are available through redevelopment. The presentations will be followed by a question and answer session.

The city is in the process of creating the redevelopment plan for the Western Edge and will soon be announcing a public meeting to discuss a draft of the plan. Additionally, the City is currently conducting a study to determine whether redevelopment would be appropriate for Southwest Hoboken.
