| WEST WARD - NEWARK NJ |
| Redevelopment Project - 90 to 102 Properties, Mix Use Development 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.

| ELIZABETH, NEW JERSEY |
| Redevelopment Project - 300 to 450 Units, Mix Use Development The City of Elizabeth NJ has selected the George Group to head up the redevelopment of its downtown area. The city has always been an industrial town but the downtown’s proximity to Manhattan via rail makes Elizabeth a jewel for the commuter who spends over an hour in each direction to get home. The George Group controls a 1.9 acre piece of property directly across the street from the rail station that will whisk the commuter to Manhattan in 22 minutes. The 400 unit, mixed use project, will give the commuter all the amenities of country living, but in the city. Swimming pool, shopping, tennis courts, restaurants, even covered parking, are just some of the benefits in this project for the commuter. |
