Jersey City Councilman Speaks Up Against Hoboken Garage

One Jersey City Councilman is speaking up against the potential move of the Hoboken Municipal Garage to a development area in his city. Ward E Councilman Steve Fulop is putting an official resolution on the Jersey City council meeting agenda opposing the possible relocation. 

"We don't need Hoboken Public Works trucks, junk, garbage, noise, and pollution in Jersey City," Fulop said in a statement. 

During last night's special council meeting, Business Administrator Arch Liston informed the city council that Jersey City Mayor Jerramaiah Healy is vehemently opposed to a Hoboken garage in his city. 

Fulop even went a step further in his press release, saying "Hoboken backed itself into a corner for short-term gain and now expects us to solve its problem."

And although the clock is ticking for Hoboken, Fulop said, Jersey City is in no rush.

"I am sure the Jersey City council will explore all avenues to make sure we don't become Hoboken's dumping ground," Fulop said.
