Hoboken North End Redevelopment Moving Forward

The Hoboken Planning Board recently completed its investigation of a proposed redevelopment area dubbed the North End Redevelopment Area.

A full copy of the Study Report is available on the City’s website.

As noted in a recent article by Amanda Palasciano of the Hudson Reporter, the next step in the process is for the Planning Board to hold public hearings on the proposed redevelopment designation.  Thereafter, the planning board will make a recommendation to the governing body on whether the entire area (or a portion thereof) is in need of redevelopment.   The governing body then would then adopt a resolution acting on the planning board’s recommendation.

Notably, if the area is blighted (i.e. designated in need of redevelopment) and a redevelopment plan is subsequently adopted, the City would be able to use eminent domain to take private property within the designated area.

The hearing dates should be up on the City website shortly.
