Updates from Hoboken Residents For A Public Waterfront
Good evening,
Here are some quick updates from Hoboken Residents for a Public Waterfront:
1. Shipyard Associates has again requested to re-schedule their hearing in front of the Hoboken Planning Board. The hearing is now scheduled for:
Tuesday, June 5, 2012 – 7:00PM
Wallace School gymnasium
1100 Willow Avenue (intersection of 11th and Willow Ave.)
2. As expected, Shipyard Associates has appealed the Hudson County Planning Board's decision to deny their application. They will now have to present their entire application to the Board of Chosen Freeholders (the legislative branch of the county government). We are expecting a public hearing to be scheduled in May and will keep you updated on the timing. Freeholder Anthony Romano is Hoboken's representative on the Board of Chosen Freeholders. Correspondence reiterating the importance of this matter can be sent to him at the following address:
Freeholder Anthony Romano
567 Pavonia Avenue
Jersey City NJ 07306

3. These update emails now reach 519 concerned residents of Hoboken, and the list continues to grow every day. We are honored to receive emails of well wishes and support, but we cannot get complacent. Please spread the word to your friends, family and neighbors. Our electronic petition is still open for signatures (http://www.ipetitions.com/
4. Thank you to everyone who attended the Fund for a Better Waterfront comedy night. It was a great success and everyone had a great time. They have been great friends to our cause since day one and we were thrilled to see them throw a successful fund raiser.
