On Tuesday, August 31, the City of Hoboken will host a “Redevelopment 101″
informative seminar to educate the public on the redevelopment process.

“My Administration takes public input very seriously,” said Mayor Dawn
Zimmer. “As we move forward with various redevelopment projects, an informed
public will be in a position to offer the feedback we need to reflect our
community’s vision for our City.”

The event, which will take place at the Multi-Service Center, 124 Grand
Street, from 7pm to 9pm, will be taped, replayed on television, and posted
on the City website.

Redevelopment attorney Joe Maraziti of Maraziti, Falcon, & Healey will speak
in general terms about the redevelopment process from start to finish, while
Jong Sook Nee of McManimon & Scotland will explain the financing tools that
are available through redevelopment. The presentations will be followed by a
question and answer session.

The City is in the process of creating the redevelopment plan for the
Western Edge and will soon be announcing a public meeting to discuss a draft
of the plan. Additionally, the City is currently conducting a study to
determine whether redevelopment would be appropriate for Southwest Hoboken.
