Save Jersey City’s National Historical Treasure!!!
The Issue
Use The Power Of Public Domain And Turn The Cause For Outrage Into Community Green Space For Our Children and Seniors
Built during the Great Depression, The New Jersey Medical Center is the state’s largest Art Deco site. An estimated 350,000 people were born there including Nancy and Frank Sinatra, Martha Stewart, Queen Latifah, Charlotte Bloomberg (Michael Bloomberg’s mother), and Shaquille O’Neal. The Medical Center, now repurposed for apartments and home to thousands, was listed on both the National Register of Historic Places and the New Jersey Register of Historic Places in 1985 and remains a landmark today.
A proposed new 17-story building at 591 Montgomery St, which will be built within the boundaries of the historic landmark, will ruin this treasure unless we stop it.
- Violates Federal and Local Historic Site Protections
- Violates Zoning Laws – The developers are asking egregious variances for height, size of building footprint, allowable uses, and elimination of trees.
- Increases congestion and parking problems in an already highly congested area.
