Jersey City Builds for Working Families

Jersey City’s Mayor James Solomon is pushing forward with the Canal Crossing development, designed to offer affordable housing at around $1,000/month with 20% set aside for low-income residents, as part of his “Building for Working Families” initiative. He’s committed to rejecting developer deals that benefit only the wealthy, insisting on union labor and accountability, and has a history of opposing luxury housing tax breaks—this time, he’s betting on a different kind of growth that keeps families in the neighborhood. The Council will vote on the financing proposal June 10th, with a second vote June 24th—potentially marking a turning point in Jersey City’s housing future.
