Participating businesses will receive a window decal to identify their location as a hydration station. Business locations will be advertised on a digital map and posted to the City’s website.
Hoboken Connect Project update meeting scheduled for Sept. 22
Residents are reminded that the City of Hoboken, and development partner LCOR, will host a virtual meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 22, at 6 p.m., to update the public on the future redevelopment of “Site 1" of Hoboken Connect.
"Site 1" is approximately 700,000 square feet of land owned by New Jersey Transit at the corner of Hudson Place and Hudson Street which is currently being used as a surface parking lot. During the Sept. 22 community meeting, LCOR will present proposed changes to the redevelopment plan and agreement. Participants will be invited to make comments and ask questions about the project. No action will be taken during the meeting.
