2021 was a breakthrough year for Hoboken’s waterfront. Union Dry Dock and the Monarch Pier have been secured to become critical additions to the continuous, public waterfront park, first proposed by FBW 30 years ago. FBW ended the year with a highly successful, celebratory event honoring long-time chair Jim Vance. Throughout the year, FBW continued its advocacy for open space designed in a manner that is unquestionably public.
