Jersey City may investigate whether a swath of Downtown land that includes the Sixth Street Embankment should be designated as an area in need of redevelopment.
The City Council will vote on a resolution Wednesday permitting the Planning Board to study the land after Conrail pulled out of a settlement that would have ended a 15-year long legal battle over the parcels.

The Jersey City Municipal Utilities Authority has hired a law firm to investigate a cyberattack that blocked access to “vital” water and sewer service information and led to an “emergency condition.”
The ransomware attack, which occurred “on or about” Sept. 30, caused the agency to “lose access to vital information and documentation related to the provision of water and sewerage services to the citizens of the City of Jersey City,” according to a resolution approved in October.
