Community meeting on 38 Jackson St. project announced
Residents are invited to a community meeting on Wednesday, March 12, at 7:30 p.m. at Connors Elementary School, 201 Monroe St, to learn more about proposed changes to the 38 Jackson Street Redevelopment Agreement. The developer team will present proposed changes to the ground floor including new proposed school space and a revised location for a supermarket, as well as answering questions from the public.
This meeting is a follow-up to the community meeting held at the same location on January 14, where the proposed changes to the redevelopment agreement were first discussed.
The Southwest Hoboken Redevelopment Plan, initially adopted in May 2017, serves as the framework for this project. The redevelopment agreement between the City of Hoboken and 38 Jackson, LLC was executed in January 2022, with initial Planning Board approval granted in September 2022. An amended site plan approval was subsequently granted by the Planning Board in May 2023.
The project, which is currently under construction, is scheduled to be completed later this year.
Help eliminate rodents!
The Division of Health and the Division of Sanitation work with other City divisions and departments, as well as residents, businesses, private contractors, and utility companies to mitigate the rodent population in Hoboken. This is done through inspections, surveys, identification of food sources, and more.
Residents can also help keep curb rodent activity by eliminating rodent food sources and habitats from their properties.
Residents should:
- Keep garbage in covered containers, pick up pet waste, and not litter to eliminate rodent food sources.
- Flatten and secure cardboard, remove weeds and overgrown vegetation to eliminate rodent habitats.
- Report rodent activity via email to ratreport@hobkennj.gov.
