East Ward Jersey Street property sale with Riverfront Park build-out (26-0696)
Description
An add-starter sale of a Jersey Street parcel at appraised value, with the buyer privately funding the stretch of Passaic Riverfront Park in front of it — but a rival $5.5 million offer sent the matter to executive session.
Impact summary
Residents get a privately funded piece of riverfront park, but the council wants to know why a higher offer is being left on the table.
