Special Zoning MeetingIn classic developer fashion. The meeting date has changed yet again. Here is the latest date and time: 6:00 pm on October 24th, 2024 at Jackson Square Boardroom. A high-rise at the corner of Jersey and Newark Avenues, at the Capital One Bank is being redeveloped. This is an outrageous example of developer overreach, with variances for use, height, and density. We implore residents to stand up against this project. The originally scheduled hearing date of August 8 was tabled by the developers due to the encouragement of the downtown neighborhood associations for residents to speak.
