Provide input on a Redevelopment Plan for the Washington Street CVS Property
The City of Hoboken will host a public outreach session for the creation of a Redevelopment Plan for the Washington Street CVS property and surface parking areas (Washington-Observer Gateway Redevelopment Plan) on Thursday, Oct. 20, from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the Newark Street Plaza located in front of the CVS Pharmacy Building (70 Hudson St.) near the intersection of Washington Street and Newark Street.
The community is invited to stop by anytime between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. to learn more about the potential development concepts and provide feedback on their preferred design features and redevelopment scenarios for the Rehabilitation Area.
On May 20, 2020, the Hoboken City Council designated the area (which includes Block 210, Lots 1-16 and Block 210.01, Lots 26-29, the entire alley way between blocks 210 and 210.01, and adjacent rights-of-way of Washington Street, Newark Street, Hudson Street and Observer Highway) as an “Area in Need of Rehabilitation.” The L-shaped Rehabilitation Area is comprised of the building currently operating as a CVS Pharmacy and the adjacent parking lots, and does not include the buildings on the block fronting Hudson Street (Starbucks, Green Rock Tap & Grill, etc.)

Register for the Green Pass program
Residents with electric vehicles can still apply for a Green Pass! The Green Pass program aims to make electric vehicle charging more affordable for Hoboken residents.
The program allows residents to park their registered electric vehicles or plug-in hybrid electric vehicles at a reduced rate while charging a vehicle in Garage B at 28 Second St., Garage D at 215 Hudson St., and the Midtown Garage at 371 Fourth St.
Specifically, residents without monthly garage access currently pay the standard rate of $20 for eight hours of parking plus $1 per hour for electricity, meaning it would cost about $28 for 8 hours of charging. With the Green Pass discount, residents would only pay a $6 parking fee and $1 per hour to charge for eight hours or a total of $14.
To become a Green Pass member, the individual must have a valid Hoboken Resident On-Street Parking Permit and have a registered electric vehicle or plug-in hybrid electric vehicle.
