Ground was broken this morning for an affordable housing development on Bergen Avenue in Jersey City, city officials said.
Mayor Jerramiah Healy, City Councilwoman Viola Richardson, and state Department of Community Affairs Commissioner and former Bayonne Mayor Joseph V. Doria, Jr. were on hand at the ceremony.
The project, through the Corpus Christi Ministries Housing program of the Jersey City Episcopal Community Development Corporation, will provide one-bedroom apartments for eight people with low or no income, according to the JCECDC.
