The house replaces an abandoned structure that was torn down last summer. The park footprint remains the same. Construction needs to be completed before the park renovation can begin.

Back when, I read this article saying that a park was going to be built on an empty lot on 1st. About 2 months ago, a building was built on site, leaving a small patch of land. Either they are making the park smaller and used some of the land for development or they scratched the park idea all together? Anyone know the deal?

VNA Awarded $295,000 Grant Allocation for Village Park Project

September 14, 2010 by Rob Crow

The Village Neighborhood Association, in collaboration with The Jersey City Parks Coalition, has received the highly sought after recommendation from the Hudson County Open Space Trust Fund Board of Directors and County Executive Tom DeGise for $295,000 of matching funds for the redevelopment of The Village Park on First Street in The Village section of Downtown Jersey City. This is huge!

Throughout the Winter and early Spring of 2010, members of the VNA, The Jersey City Parks Coalition, and Future Green Studios painstakingly compiled and completed the phone-book sized grant application. On April 8, 2010, designer David Seiter (Future Green Studio), Jim Ayers (VNA Vice President), Michele La Monica-Egar (Jersey City Parks Coalition) and myself pitched our formal presentation to the the Hudson County Board of trustees. And then, we waited?.

The news came late last week via an email from Stephen Marks, Director of the Hudson County Division of Planning. The Village Park was one 17 projects to be awarded this endorsement. With the passage of this introductory resolution, the final public hearing on these awards will be scheduled for the October 28, 2010 Board of Chosen Freeholders meeting. There is more work to be done for sure, and we?ll be reaching out to residents for their support, but for right now, feel free to smile.
