✨ICYMI ✨The Hoboken Green Fair happened on October 4th! Businesses, nonprofits, and other groups gathered in Church Square Park and highlighted sustainability in Hoboken. The 2025 class of the Green Business Recognition were recognized by Mayor Bhalla and given their certificates to display in their stores. We also had our Bloomberg Youth Climate Action Fund grant recipients there to show off their hard work on their projects focused on making Hoboken more sustainable!
