Due to pressure from the voting public, the Jersey City governing body last week removed the threat of eminent domain in McGinley Square by converting the area from a “redevelopment area” to a “rehabilitation area.” The latter provides for many of the same planning benefits afforded a redevelopment area, but removes government’s ability to take property from private property owners using the condemnation process. Apparently, the people’s voices were heard, and the government listened.
