Residents are invited to attend and participate in a town hall meeting at Bayonne High School auditorium on Wednesday, September 7, at 7 p.m., according to Mayor James Davis. The meeting is in regards to the redevelopment of the former Texaco site at the foot of the Bayonne Bridge.
Togus Urban Renewal, LLC, the property’s redeveloper, will be providing a comprehensive overview of the property’s transformation from an industrial plant to a 21st century movie and television production facility.

The redeveloper’s engineers, architects, planners, and financial analysts will be on hand to explain Bayonne’s most noteworthy redevelopment project to date. The city’s planners, attorneys, and financial analysts will also be participating in this public roundtable discussion.
This town hall meeting is the first of many meetings on this issue, most of
which will occur at future City Council meetings. According to the city, these events are designed to keep the public informed about the progress of the project.
The meeting of September 7 will be televised on BEN-TV, Channel 77 on Optimum and Channel 40 on Verizon Fios. Concurrently, the meeting will be livestreamed on the Bayonne Board of Education’s YouTube Channel.
The meeting will also be rebroadcast later on BAY-TV, Channel 78 on Optimum and Channel 42 on Verizon. For more information, go to bayonnenj.org.
