On April 16, the Heights Coalition hosted a forum where eight of the nine candidates for the Ward C and D seats on the City Council faced off on tax abatements, crime, the Journal Square Redevelopment Plan and quality of life issues. Here’s some video — enjoy.
Big thanks to Tris McCall for allowing us to use his music, to the candidates for showing up, and to the Heights Coalition for putting together a quality event. The coalition’s members: Washington Park Association of Hudson County, Riverview Neighborhood Association, Heights Hope Neighborhood Association, The Hope Center, Pershing Field Garden Friends, Central Avenue Special Improvement District, New York Avenue Block Association, PS8 Neighborhood Association, AARP and Heights Community Relations Council.
