Via Curbed, a terrific redevelopment project has finally broken ground in Harrison, NJ. One of the earliest industrial suburbs, Harrison suffered from years of blight and large swaths of desolate, weeded brownfields.
But Harrison has tremendous assets: an underutilized PATH station, a two minute ride to Newark's Penn Station, and convenient access to both NYC and the educational/cultural institutions of Newark (don't laugh . . . Newark has a lot to offer).
While the project also contains a large parking component, it is a boon to transit friendly development. New Jersey (my birthplace) needs more of this.
Visit Curbed for the details.

I commute from Harrison PATH everyday and am amazed by all the construction activity. It is a very impressive project, and I can't wait to see the results.
