HPHA members and neighbors may want to attend tonight's city council meeting, to speak up about the issue of revising PILOT agreements (abatements) to favor a luxury condo developer.

The Jersey City Council is set to vote tonight on whether the developer of a luxury condo tower on the Jersey City waterfront can revise its PILOT agreement with the city due to slow sales.

Ward E Council member Steve Fulop notes, "If the council gives Crystal Point a break due to the economy, every development project in the city will ask for the same." And the New Jersey Policy Perspective, a think tank that is due to release a study on Jersey City's tax abatement policy next month, agrees.

The topic is expected to come up by 7pm - please be at City Council chambers by then if you wish to speak up about this issue.
