For most of the last century, New Jersey’s Hudson River shoreline was bustling with maritime industries. By the 1980s, however, most of these companies had abandoned the riverfront, In Hoboken, Jersey City and up to Edgewater, a derelict waterfront was waiting to be transformed. Most municipalities allowed private developers to drive the planning process and shape the future of their land at the water’s edge. In Hoboken, however, the non-profit Fund for a Better Waterfront (FBW) was formed to create a vision based on the principles of sound urban design and planning. After 34 years of advocacy, Hoboken now has a public park at its waterfront that is close to completion. Most of the east-west streets lead directly to the riverfront and the park. Please help FBW complete this vision for a fully-connected public waterfront. Contribute today.
