Fund for a Better Waterfront

Fund for a Better Waterfront Along the Hudson River waterfront, the lack of public planning has allowed private interests to dominate the water's edge.

FBW has been guided by a single unifying vision since our founding: to secure an undeniably public waterfront park along NJ’s Hudson River – now and for generations to come. Many private enclaves with guard houses and gates have been built with backyards abutting the state-mandated Hudson River Waterfront Walkway. As a result, there is a built-in conflict between the public seeking to use the walk

way and the private owners who want their properties to be secure and safe. Fortunately, Fund for a Better Waterfront (FBW) has prevented that “privatization of the waterfront” from occurring in Hoboken. Over the years, FBW has fought many battles to preserve the opportunity to complete the proposed continuous, public waterfront park at the water’s edge. Today, Hoboken’s waterfront park is 85% built, and the opportunity to complete it from one end of town to the other is now close at hand.

Last night I joined the Hudson River Waterfront Conservancy tour of Hoboken led by Bob Foster of the Hoboken Historical Museum and Noelle Thurlow of Resilience Adventures. Here, just north of the Union Dry Dock site, I told of the successful battle to secure this land as part of our contiguous, public waterfront park.
