At a time when anyone attempting to revitalize their neighborhood and empower their community should be championed and celebrated, the Jersey City Redevelopment Agency has instead, decided to diminish and halt the efforts of one of the only minority, non-profit CDCs in Jersey City: the Morris Canal Community Development Corporation.

MCCDC's vision for Community Crossing, located at 408-420 Communipaw Avenue, includes 4 stories of 1, 2, 3, and 4-bedroom condominiums that could have housed 46 families and created just as many first-time home-ownership opportunities. The project -- almost 20 years in the making and just one step away from breaking ground -- is now null and void as a result of JCRA’s recent vote to de-designate the non-profit developer.

Morris Canal CDC and the Lafayette Community need your help in getting the Communipaw Crossing redevelopment project back on track. Write a letter and demand that the JCRA overturn its decision to de-designation MCCDC.
