After plenty of back and forth, Jersey City and Polish officials agreed to a plan that would move the statue to York Street and spruce up another section of the waterfront.

A war of words and a lawsuit have left plans to relocate an Exchange Place statue seemingly up in the air.

Mayor Fulop announced that a car-free zone along a major Jersey City hub could be expanded farther west, adding additional amenities.

Following continued protest and a lawsuit from the city of Jersey City, the proposed 45-acre marina project in Liberty State Park moves forward.

A $40 million project that’s been planned for over a decade will reestablish greenery in the park’s interior, adding pathways, bridges, and other amenities to the landscape.

Phase Three of the park is open now for all to enjoy and the next phase is well underway, providing residents with acres of outdoor recreation.

The council voted 8-1 last week in favor of moving forward on the purchase or eminent domain of the waterfront property, which would be used as open space.
