States Hoboken's mission to serve the recreational means of people of all ages. Hoboken is a tight living space area....they have an open space plan to create parks in certain places for the kids to place and run around and get a chance to breathe for once. They have a Pier A Park development going on meaning they want to encourage water front development as much as possible. Public space is much needed, and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey has provided funing to build the infrastructure. They have a proposed 3.2 million square foot area for this project. The property is owned by the city of Hoboken, the funding will cover the costs of the infrustructure.
