Newark, NJ - December 20, 2007 - Mayor Cory A. Booker, West Ward Council Member Ronald Rice, and other municipal leaders, developers, and community activists today announced the launching of a program that will unite community groups, local and minority-based developers, and the City to redevelop up to 102 parcels of land, which consist of City-owned properties and privately-owned abandoned buildings in the West Ward. The program follows the City's adoption of an Abandoned Property Ordinance earlier this year, based on state legislation which empowers municipalities to take action against residential or mixed-use properties that have been vacant for more than six month and have unpaid taxes or create blighting or unsafe conditions.
