At State of the City Address, Mayor Zimmer Highlights Progress and Plans for Year Ahead

At her second State of the City address, Mayor Dawn Zimmer highlighted the City of Hoboken’s progress on fiscal, infrastructure, and quality of life issues, and announced plans for 2012.

Mayor Zimmer identified a 10 percent reduction in municipal taxes and the saving of Hoboken University Medical Center as two key achievements in the last year.

“Together we saved our City from financial destruction with the successful sale of Hoboken University Medical Center,” said Mayor Zimmer, who noted that the City would have been responsible for paying a $52 million bond if the sale had not been successful.

Regarding the potential expansion of the Number 7 subway from New York to Secaucus, Mayor Zimmer announced her advocacy efforts for a northern Hoboken subway stop linked to a new uptown NJ Transit light rail stop.

In the year ahead, parks and open space will be a major focus for the Zimmer Administration. A variety of park projects were completed or are in progress. Pier C park was fully opened in 2011, and the City will soon begin construction on Sinatra Park and Castle Point Park, followed by 1600 Park and Hoboken Cove. With a $3 million County grant and a portion of the $20 million bond passed in 2011, the City will be purchasing property for a park in Southwest Hoboken.
