McDonough recently announced that the master plan for the Town of Harrison Redevelopment was recognized with the Outstanding Redevelopment Plan award from the New Jersey Chapter of the American Planning Association (NJAPA). The original plan, developed by Heyer Gruel Associates, was modified through input from the three major designated redevelopers &endash; Advance Realty Group, Roseland/Millenium and The Pegasus Group. The new design will create over three million square feet of office space, over 7,000 residential units, and over one million square feet of retail space, and will include a new 25,000-seat stadium for Major League Soccer's MetroStars. "We are pleased to accept this award for the redevelopment of the Town of Harrison and are very grateful to all of the developers involved in the project for leading the exciting renaissance taking shape in Harrison. This award is an affirmation of the meticulous planning that has been undertaken to ensure development in Harrison is conducted in the most respectful, responsive and professional manner," stated Mayor McDonough.

Guest bs Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 HARRISON AND NEWARK EMBARK ON COOPERATIVE EFFORT TO ENHANCE WATERFRONT DEVELOPMENTS February 6, 2004 -- The Town of Harrison and the City of Newark have announced they will jointly fund a study to enhance the planned waterfront developments in both municipalities. This cooperative effort by two of New Jersey's largest urban centers will include a financial agreement to coordinate the development of infrastructures, new roadways, riverfront parks. The first stage will be a study for the lighting of the "Dock Bridge", the historic railway bridge at Penn Station, and the Jackson Street and Bridge Street bridges which span the Passaic River and mark the boundaries of the redevelopment areas in Harrison and Newark. Peter B. Higgins, Chairman of the Redevelopment Agency of Harrison, stated, "This collaboration with Newark represents a milestone in our future. With a great deal of interest and investment transpiring in our two cities, this study will enable us to better synergize our efforts as we build a model of urban planning." Richard Monteilh, Business Administrator for Newark, added, "We are glad to join with Harrison in taking a "regional" approach to these shared issues which affect both of our great cities. There are many exciting developments planned for Newark and we recognize that whatever happens in either Harrison or Newark affects and benefits us all." Newark, New Jersey is one of the oldest and largest cities in the United States with a population approaching 2 million. Newark is the home of five colleges and universities. Across the Passaic River from Newark is Harrison, New Jersey, which is undergoing several large-scale redevelopments. Located directly across from Newark's Penn Station, the NJ Performing Arts Center and the planned Minish Park, Harrison's Redevelopment Zone expects to see the beginning of major new developments during 2004 which will provide thousands of housing units and new office structures.

Guest Guest Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 RELEASE: 9/15/00 CONTACT: AMY COLLINGS OR SHARON A. SOUTHARD 609-984-1795 OR 609-292-2994 Back to What's New at HRPOCA.com DEP, HUDSON COUNTY AND 12 MUNICIPALITIES FORM PARTNERSHIP FOR COMPLETION OF HUDSON WALKWAY State Environmental Protection Commissioner Bob Shinn, Hudson County Executive Robert Janiszewski and the mayors of 12 riverfront municipalities today agreed to work in partnership to realize a common goal: the completion of the Hudson River Walkway. The walkway, an internationally acclaimed urban structure, ultimately will span 18.8 miles of riverfront. More than 11 miles are finished, and six miles use existing streets. The other segments are not yet complete. "By opening the waterfront to residents and visitors, the Hudson Walkway brings new vitality to this region, creates new opportunities for urban recreation and open space, and helps make New Jersey a great place to live, work and raise a family," commented Governor Christie Whitman, who provided $2 million in FY1998 to facilitate completion of certain gaps in the walkway. "Completing the walkway will assure public access to the Hudson waterfront and provide urban pedestrians, joggers, cyclists and anglers with an invigorating and unparalleled space to enjoy the outdoors," said Commissioner Shinn. The agreement focuses initially on the walkway but also includes provisions for addressing broad environmental issues related to combined sewer overflows and other sources of water pollution. [Please click here for a complete copy of the Memorandum of Agreement.] "Today we are one step closer to bringing a Hudson River Walkway to our residents," said Hudson County Executive Robert C. Janiszewski. "This project, which will further improve Hudson County’s landscape, has been at the top of our wish list for years and through this partnership with Commissioner Shinn and the Hudson County mayors, our time has come. I look forward to bringing this world-class asset to our communities." Signing the agreement with Shinn and Janiszewski were Bayonne Mayor Joseph V. Doria, East Newark Mayor Joseph Smith, Guttenberg Mayor Robert Sabello, Harrison Mayor Raymond McDonough, Hoboken Mayor Anthony Russo, Jersey City Mayor Bret Schundler, Kearny Mayor Alberto Santos, North Bergen Mayor Nicholas Sacco, Secaucus Mayor Dennis Elwell, Union City Mayor Raul Garcia, Weehawken Mayor Richard Turner, and West New York Mayor Albio Sires. The partnership is expected to generate a comprehensive plan for the construction, completion and maintenance of the walkway, with input from the public and other stakeholders. The plan will specify activities to achieve the stated goals, the agencies to undertake those actions, and deadlines for completion of each task. The DEP Commissioner’s Office and the Hudson County Office of Strategic Revitalization will coordinate the partnership effort for the first five years of the agreement. A preliminary list of tasks includes inventorying all waterfront properties along the waterfront, preparing cost estimates for construction, maintenance and operation of the walkway, identifying potential funding sources, soliciting public input regarding walkway design and amenities, and examining long-term issues such as maintenance and public safety. The concept of a walkway was first proposed by the Regional Plan Association in 1966. The DEP adopted regulations in 1980 requiring owners seeking to develop the waterfront to construct and maintain the walkway and provide public access. In 1988, the Hudson River Waterfront Conservancy was created to oversee the walkway’s future. About half of the existing walkway has been built by state and local government agencies. Despite legal obligations, some developers have not completed their sections of the walkway, due to financial constraints or an unwillingness to provide a public structure. When completed, the walkway will run from the Bayonne Bridge to the George Washington Bridge, linking Liberty State Park with the Palisades Interstate Park facilities, and will connect nine municipalities: Bayonne, Jersey City, Hoboken, Weehawken, West New York, Guttenberg, North Bergen, Edgewater and Fort Lee.

Guest WHO, WHERE ARE THEY FROM Posted June 6, 2004 Report Share Posted June 6, 2004 A P r o j e c t O v e r v i e w Tow n o f H a r r i s o n Wa t e r f ro n t R e d eve l o pme n t P l a n HEYER, GRUEL & ASSOCIATES was the team leader in preparation of the Redevelopment Plan for a 250+ acre former industrial waterfront area in Harrison. The Plan received a NJPO Achievement in Planning Award in 1999. The Plan capitalizes on assets such as its regional accessibility, the presence of the PATH station within the area, the character and history of the area, and its location along the Passaic River. It also recognizes constraints to development such as environmental contamination due to its former industrial heritage and its location within the 100 year flood plain. The Plan provides the groundwork for the development of a diverse mix of uses and public amenities that will achieve the goals and objectives of the Plan. Features of the Plan include: • A public waterfront walkway and park along the Passaic River that integrates an Army Corps flood control project. • A street oriented mixed use boulevard. • A waterfront corporate center which includes office space, a hotel and conference center. • A professional soccer stadium. • Improvements to the PATH station and potential reopening of the Harrison New Jersey Transit station. • Residential opportunities. HGA is currently assisting the Town in implementing the Plan. The Town has executed agreements with four redevelopers after extensive redeveloper interest.
