(the “Redevelopment Law”), specifically, N.J.S.A. 40A:12A-5.
Said area consists of two (2) separate lots within the City: Block 803 Lot 1 and Block 815 Lot 1 (the “Study Area”). The Study Area is located at 301 and 300-302 Constitution Avenue along the eastern waterfront of the City on the Peninsula at Bayonne Harbor. The area is characterized by mixed residential and waterfront uses within the City’s Harbor Station district.
This public hearing is being held pursuant to the Redevelopment Law, which authorizes municipal governing bodies to designate certain areas of the municipality as being in need of redevelopment.
PLEASE TAKE FURTHER NOTICE that you are entitled to appear at said public hearing to present any and all objections or support you may have and any other general comments relative to the Planning Board’s investigation as to whether the Study Area should be designated as a Non-Condemnation Redevelopment Area.

PLEASE TAKE FURTHER NOTICE, after review by the Planning Board at the hearing described herein, a finding by the City Council that the Study Area constitutes a Non-Condemnation Redevelopment Area shall not authorize the City to exercise the power of eminent domain to acquire the Study Area.
PLEASE TAKE FURTHER NOTICE, if the City Council designates the Study Area as a Non-Condemnation Redevelopment Area, the owner(s) of the Study Area will receive a notice from the City notifying him or her of the designation and will have forty-five (45) days from the receipt of such notice to challenge the redevelopment designation by filing the appropriate action in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division.
