This year, FBW will honor Jim Vance who served for many years as the Chair of the FBW Board of Directors. His tireless energy and generous spirit has kept FBW going, sustaining a 30-year old vision for what Hoboken’s waterfront could be. He will be the recipient of FBW’s Riparian Award.
Nearly 30 years ago, before any development had taken place at Hoboken’s riverfront, the Fund for a Better Waterfront drafted a plan for what the waterfront could be; the centerpiece of this plan – a continuous, public park at the water’s edge – became the driving force that established the park at Hoboken’s South Waterfront (from Newark to Fourth Street) that has received both state and national awards.
Today, there is an opportunity to finish the job, creating a fully-connected and undeniably public park along the full length of Hoboken’s waterfront – a park that will serve as the economic heart of the city, bringing visitors from all over the world. Please consider becoming a CONNECT THE WATERFRONT sponsor. Your support is critical to making the vision of a world-class, public, continuous park a reality.
A Public Park. A Lasting Legacy.
