WHAT OTHER DEVELOPMENT
RELATED IDEAS COULD BE
BENEFICIAL FOR RESIDENTS IN
JERSEY CITY?
Including: ideas for the administration & ideas for City Council
13. Ideas for the Administration to Consider
• The City website should include all
redevelopment plans in a clickable way that is
clear, perhaps an online interactive map
• The City website should include a list of all
active development related projects online
• The City should consider a task force to work
on a revamp of the Master plan
14. Ideas for the Council to Consider
• Introduce legislation that would require
mailings to people within 200 feet of a
proposed change
