JULY 2020 UPDATE On April 1, 2020, the Hoboken City Council amended the City's contract with the WRT Consulting Team to perform additional special analysis requested by the City Council North End Subcommittee to prepare and refine development scenarios and to complete the North End Redevelopment Plan.  The WRT Team has since met (virtually) with the Subcommittee on several occasions and is now in the process of completing that analysis, and finalizing the Draft Redevelopment Plan, which they hope to being able to provide to the City for review and comment by August 1.  After the City's review of the Draft Plan, the WRT Team will need time to revise the Draft based on one or more rounds of City comments.  A Refined Draft will be made available to the public before it is presented to City Council for adoption, which is anticipated for September/October, unless the scale and breadth of comments requires a longer revision period.

THE NORTH END - A VISIONARY, RESILIENT MIXED-USE DISTRICT The North End Redevelopment Plan offers the City of Hoboken and its residents the opportunity to collectively re-imagine the future of the area for generations to come. The Plan will provide a vision and a strategic approach for redevelopment that considers residents’ desire to live, work, and play in a city that is environmentally resilient, socially equitable, and uniquely Hoboken—a historic and unique city to be celebrated. THE NORTH END The North End Area is located in the northwestern corner of the City and consists of approximately 30 acres bounded by the 14th Street viaduct to the south, Park Avenue to the East, 17th Street to the north and the Palisades Cliffs to the west; the Hudson Bergen Light Rail line runs along the western and northern boundaries. OPPORTUNITY FOR A MIXED-USE DISTRICT In December 2013 the City Council declared the 30.17 acres that encompasses the North End Area as an Area in Need of Rehabilitation pursuant to the Local Redevelopment and Housing Law of the State of New Jersey (LRHL).
