Hungry Residents Will Be Edumacated
Two schools are to be built on a Summit Avenue lot in Jersey City Heights after getting a boost in funding reports the Journal.
The Central Avenue Stop&Shop had long hoped to turn the plot of land into a state of the art, urban style grocery store before the land was seized for school construction by the state, six years ago. While schools are sorely needed, so are quality grocery stores. A new Stop&Shop in the heights likely would have attracted not only local Heights residents but also downtown shoppers dissatisfied with the paltry offerings in downtown stores.
In total, the state will spend close to $70 million on an elementary school and an early childhood center.
