Newark is transforming fast—with six major projects reshaping neighborhoods through new housing, healthcare, and schools, from a 22-story downtown tower to a wellness center in South Ward and an academy in Lower Clinton Hill. Meanwhile, the city hosts the global Knights of St John Convention, drawing international attention to its mission of peace.
