We believe that successful waterfronts begin with sound planning, time-tested urban design and an understanding that the water’s edge belongs to the public.
Hoboken’s Spring Arts & Music Festival – Sunday, May 18 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Please visit our booth at the Arts & Music Festival. Learn about our 1990 Plan for the Hoboken Waterfront that has shaped the development of Hoboken’s riverfront and its continuous, public waterfront park. We are eager to meet you and talk about the latest public policy issues that impact our community. Your support is vital for our continued advocacy work.
