Mayor Jerramiah T. Healy will give a "State of the City" address tonight at Franklin L. Williams Middle School, 222 Laidlaw Ave.
Healy is expected to talk about crime, development beyond the waterfront, and job creation for city residents. He also plans to lay out his development plans for Journal Square and the west side of the city, as well as a proposal for improving neighborhood parks.
Healy will propose adding 20 percent to Jersey City's open space, according to a press release.
The speech will start at 7 p.m. and is open to the public. Gov. Jon Corzine is scheduled to attend along with other state and local officials.
