We have been upgrading facilities in Jersey City that has been neglected for decades. The North Police Precinct is a good example of this.

So... we are building a new North District (across from Renato’s Pizza Masters) that will achieve a couple goals for the community:

1) will update the current North District that is more than 100 years old and in disrepair

2) will get all of the police vehicles that park on the street to be off the street and located in the police facility

3) will create meeting space for community groups that want to utilize it.

We have met with the community in the surrounding area numerous times and have incorporated their feedback. They requested the building design be changed to be more consistent with the aesthetics in the area, and they requested that we don’t use Sherman as an access point being it is one way - both of those requests we took seriously and incorporated.

The next step is getting the formal construction documents completed so we can bid out the project.
