Make Donations

WHY DONATE?

• Hoboken is suffering from a severe open space deficit. The national average is 6.25-10.5 acres per 1000 residents. NYC has 2.5 park acres per 1000 and Hoboken only has 0.78 park acres. The time to build more real parks in Hoboken is now!
• The only way to get a park in your neighborhood is to fight the Hoboken City Council for it. Why fight? If the residents hadn’t fought for Pier A, right now there would be 33-story towers in its place instead of a beautiful park overlooking NYC.
• Unfortunately the City Council only listens and acts proactively to a legal voice.For that reason HSPC has hired Michael S Rubin, an attorney with extensive experience in zoning and land use law.
• The City Council’s redevelopment plan means “condominiums with a strip of landscaping”. While the owners of these condominiums enjoy tax abatements, you the residents pay higher taxes to fill the gap.
• Donations help get the message out through legal action and advertising campaigns.
