1200 Grand Street, Community Room
Meeting hosted by Councilman Cunningham
Discussion led by Leah Healey and Keith Furman
The City Council is close to approving a Redevelopment Plan near Shop Rite from 9th to 14th street along Monroe Street and Madison. The proposal includes 1000+ residential units and 3 buildings with heights of 12, 14 and 16 stories.
A new website from members of the community is up at www.HobokenWesternEdge.com
with details on the plan.
The meeting will involve a discussion of the issues with the Redevelopment Plan, talk about the remaining steps in the process, discuss how to get involved and most importantly solicit feedback on how to improve the plan.

Help develop kayaking opportunities in Hoboken at next week's meeting with the Hoboken Cove Boathouse Organization. Presentations will include an overview of Hudson River boating and how other NY Harbor boathouses -- like the Long Island City Community Boathouse, Gowanus Dredgers Canoe Club, and the Downtown Boathouse -- operate. The organization is also looking for community input on the types of boating programs and activities Hoboken residents would like to have offered, and seeking volunteers to help to make these goals a reality.
Meeting is open to all interested participants -- beginner, expert, and non-paddlers alike.
Please RSVP (or for more information), by email at info@hobokencoveboathouse.org.
As always, thanks for listening, ◦
