Abstract
  • Once written off by the public, the environmental quality and economic potential of the Hudson River waterfront has become a centerpiece of New Jersey's public policy debate in recent years. Over the last decade, the shoreline of the Hudson River, stretching 18 miles from the George Washington Bridge to Bayonne and crossing nine densely developed municipalities, has undergone significant redevelopment. Formerly the domain of heavy industry, warehousing and shipping, the waterfront has long been all but inaccessible to the general public. With the implementation of a state walkway plan and procedures over the last decade, the public is for the first time gaining direct access to the water's edge.
