Mayor: NJEDA and New Jersey Transit plan redevelopment of downtown commuter lot
Summary
Mayor Armstead said NJEDA and New Jersey Transit have launched a joint redevelopment plan for the commuter parking lot at 101 West Elizabeth Avenue to create transit-oriented housing and renew the downtown corridor.
Mayor Derek Armstead told the council that the New Jersey Economic Development Authority and New Jersey Transit have launched a joint redevelopment plan for the commuter parking lot at 101 West Elizabeth Avenue. He described the project as a transit-oriented housing initiative intended to renew Linden's downtown corridor and add to the city's affordable-housing stock.
"We believe this project will transform the property into a modern transit-oriented housing community designed to renew our downtown corridor and also to enhance and add to our affordable housing stock," the mayor said. He asked residents to watch for further information coming from Trenton and noted the city expects more details as planning progresses with state partners.
No ordinance or funding vote on the redevelopment was taken at the meeting; the mayor framed the update as informational and a sign of partnership with state agencies.
