GLENN D. CUNNINGHAM MAYOR CITY HALL JERSEY CITY, NJ 07302 TEL:(201) 547-5200 FAX:(201) 547-4288

JERSEY CITY - In his continued push to bring residential and commercial development to the city's neighborhoods, Mayor Glenn D. Cunningham broke ground this afternoon on the first new market rate housing in the Lafayette section in 40 years. The S5 million project, being built by Highland Port Development Corporation, Inc., will consist of 12 two-family homes at Monitor Street near the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail line. Cunningham, who broke ground earlier this week on housing in the city's artist district, said he's pleased to see the Johnston Avenue development move forward and that the community has had a say in the process. "One of the primary goals of my administration has been bringing the success of development on the waterfront into the city's neighborhoods," Cunningham said. "I am pleased to see that process continue." Construction will begin immediately on the project and the move in date for new tenants is scheduled for early spring 2004, developers said.
