Please see below for a joint statement regarding the news on moving forward with condemnation of Block 10 in Hoboken:

“We are thrilled that Mayor Bhalla is moving forward to realize former Mayor Zimmer’s vision to acquire Block 10 in order to expand the existing SW Park. The expansion of this park is critical in the overall plan to provide additional recreation options, play spaces, and other open space equitably throughout the City for the benefit of all our residents, in this instance especially those in the Southwest neighborhood of Hoboken. We look forward to supporting this expansion of true public space without adding residential density and bulk concessions to the area.”
