Neumann Leathers Site Redevelopment Options to Be Discussed

A community meeting will be held later this month to discuss the redevelopment plan for the Neumann Leathers site.

The area includes the properties in southwest Hoboken along Willow Avenue between Observer Highway and Newark Street.

The public meeting will be held on Tuesday, May 20 from 6 to 9 p.m. in the Multi Service Center's conference room.

"The plan will address possibilities of adaptive reuse of buildings, needs for improving utilities, traffic around the site, and potential uses and density for development of the area," according to a city statement.

The first community meeting will discuss the existing conditions of the site and the surrounding area and will identify the limitations and opportunities for future development of the area.

"This will inform the planning and design process for the project team of planners, engineers, economists, architects and landscape architects," the city statement said. "The consultant will gather the community feedback from this meeting to help develop a vision for the area and determine appropriate alternatives for a comprehensive plan for the area."
