Jersey City officials cut the ribbon at Riverview-Fisk Park, break ground at Reservoir #3
Jersey City officials came together to celebrate two major open space projects in the Heights: cutting the ribbon at Riverview-Fisk Park after $2.1 million renovations before breaking ground on a $6 million improvement project at Reservoir #3.
“A couple years ago, we put in place the parks’ Open Space Trust Fund, which was the first time Jersey City ever did something like that and it has been a tremendous resource to allow us to do these sort of renovations,” Mayor Steven Fulop said at the ribbon cutting.
“It is a small amount of money which yields tremendous benefit for the entire city and so we’re gonna continue on this track of renovating parks, improving parks: if there’s one thing that we learned in the tough year that we just experienced, it’s that open space and parks in places like Jersey City that are densely populated are tremendously important.”
