Hoboken council opposes Palisades Cliffs Protection Act
Councilman Ruben Ramos voted council president ×
City Clerk James Farina swore in Councilman Ruben Ramos as president of the Hoboken City Council over Zoom on Jan. 6.
The Hoboken City Council adopted a last-minute addition to the agenda on Jan. 6 opposing the proposed Palisade Cliffs Protection Act.
The act introduced on Dec. 10, aims to limit the height of any development below the cliffs east of Palisade Avenue in Hudson and Bergen counties. Palisade Avenue extends from Jersey City in Hudson County to Fort Lee in Bergen County and would impact 10 municipalities between the two counties.

As many as 1,640 affordable housing units in New Jersey are vulnerable to coastal flooding at least once per year, according to an analysis led by scientists at Climate Central, a Princeton-based non-advocacy research and news group.
