Waiting for the smoke to clear in the economy. My idea, which brought
up to the city (and will work on it) for the city hall site envisions
getting an office developer to build a large building CONNECTED to a
new transit center, underground parking and new city facilities
(condo). City can partner with developer instead of selling the site.
Tax benefits for transit center developments help pay the construction
costs. Couple that with electrifying the NJ coast line and running
more express trains.;
