https://www.change.org/p/approve-the-berry-lane-farmers-market this one I assume? I’m confused

The funds for remediation actually were there before the bill as did the state plan that includes acres for active recreation. The new bill was said to be to set a taskforce in stone (they added some people to it as well ) It came with a promise of 250 million dollars but came out of committee with 50 million. The bill came out of the blue and was pushed through in about two weeks. Flyers for a "vision for the park" were sent out at the same time. Those turned out to come from this new People's Park Foundation (they stole the name often used by those advocating for the park.) The renderings seen in the foundation's flyers were displayed at the hearing and took over the conversation. It also meant that the protection act was dead in the water.

I actually don’t have much. The foundry girl is a jc instagram “blogger” of sorts…. I do know there is a petition to have a farmers market in Berry lane park: https://www.change.org/p/approve-the-berry-lane-farmers-market

What petition is she talking about?

Context?

What’s your better idea(s)? Genuine question, not being sarcastic.

Tower or laptop?

Wth. I never heard about this!

If it’s a building owned by Veris … you will get NO help, NO flexibility… NOTHING

& they’ll probably charge you for inconveniencing them

I have never heard of Hudson Chronicals. What a terrible message. What is going on with 902 now? Have they issued an apology for hosting this staged event.

They'll do it three months before PSEG needs to replace all the gas pipes.

Thanks. This stuff never ends. It's a constant assault of one kind or another. I figured I had the name wrong, but that's all I could could think of. :-)

And let's not forget this hare-brained plot to turn the southern portion of the park into a private marina. It never ends.

as usual, rich elites trying to steal from the people to privatize it to make money for themselves. Don't fall for it JC!

The DEP has a plan to remediate that land and return most of it to natural habitat and wildlife trails and the rest to community recreation.

But that isn’t good enough for the greedy developers. They see state funding and they want the money to build commercial venues on a state park.

Located where?

Building in contaminated land is not a good idea. But greed, man.

But it's OVER TEN YEARS OLD!!! goodness. steeped in history.

It happened in JC before NY

Yeah. The turnpike expansion is a whole other fight and, I think, some years away because they’re going to replace the Casciano first.

Does it seem strange to anyone else that Murphy wants to expand the Turnpike so it dumps into Jersey City and Fireman’s vision for LSP which includes a concert stadium?

The kids in the neighborhood will be gentrified OUT.

If Jersey City is lacking parks…speak to Fulop. He added the Green Space surcharge to all the property tax bills for a purpose.

Just have a look into how Cooper Union. It used to be tuition free because of a massive endowment.

So what happened. Rich scumbags raided it to build a bunch of real estate projects for their own personal gain.

Cooper Union is no longer tuition free. Sure they're trying to get it back, but good luck.

This is the same old story. Some shitbag who is already filthy rich just can't stand the fact that it's something they can't leverage to make more money for themselves.

Some things are services, not businesses.
