ENCOURAGING
SMART DEVELOPMENT:
Preserving
the 19th Century character of Hoboken, while tackling the
21st Century challenges we face has been my priority. I
have always worked to stop overdevelopment by limiting
the height (reduced by 20%) and reducing density
of buildings and joining with citizens groups to
bring stop actions against developers flouting Hoboken's
Zoning Laws. I have chaired Hoboken's Historic Preservation
Commission for the past 19 years, a member for 32 years.
