Hudson County Joins Bayonne, Hoboken, Jersey City, Kearny and Union City in Filing Superior Court Lawsuit Against Heliport Operator

September 30, 2026 admin

Today, Hudson County Executive Craig Guy applauded the Town of Kearny’s filing of a lawsuit against heliport operator Helo Holdings Inc. (HHI) in the Chancery Division of New Jersey Superior Court. HHI is located in the South Kearny portion of the town. In June, Hudson County Executive Craig Guy and the Board of County Commissioners entered into a shared services agreement to support coordinated legal action and the sharing of legal expenses aimed at addressing and curbing the impacts of incessant tourist helicopters flying over Hudson County municipalities.

“For years, Hudson County has been inundated with the relentless whirring of helicopters flying low over our communities, creating excessive noise and safety concerns for our residents. With the filing of this lawsuit, we will fight to ensure that the heliport operator is held accountable for its actions,” said Hudson County Executive Craig Guy. “Government works best when the County partners with our municipalities to work on behalf of our residents and we will keep fighting to ensure that HHI abides by agreements it previously made.”

Hudson County has filed papers with the court asking to be included as an interested party in the legal proceedings. This will give the County the ability to file legal briefs and certifications in support of Kearny’s suit. It is expected that the municipalities of Jersey City, Hoboken, and Bayonne and Union City will make similar applications to the court.

“The Hudson County Strides for Safety 5K is about coming together as a community to build safer neighborhoods for everyone, and that includes our youngest residents,” said Hudson County Executive Craig Guy. “We’re excited to welcome children ages 5 to 12 to our first-ever Kids Fun Run and give them a chance to be part of this important day. When our children see their parents, neighbors, first responders and community leaders standing together for safer communities, they learn that they have a role to play too. We want every generation to know that building a safer Hudson County is something we do together.”

Now in its fifth year, Strides for Safety brings residents, families, elected officials, law enforcement and community organizations together to raise awareness about gun violence and promote safer communities throughout Hudson County.

The day will continue after the race with a community after-party featuring live music, food and activities for children, giving families and participants an opportunity to celebrate together and keep the spirit of community going beyond the finish line.

Residents are encouraged to register now for the 5K, and families are invited to sign their children up for the free Kids Fun Run.

HUDSON COUNTY EXECUTIVE CRAIG GUY ANNOUNCES BUS RAPID TRANSIT COMMUNITY MEETING TO BE HELD ON SEPTEMBER 23

August 28, 2026 admin

Online survey now available in multiple languages to gather community input on corridor recommendations and design alternatives

Hudson County Executive Craig Guy announced that Hudson County will host a community meeting on Wednesday, September 23, 2026, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the Hudson County Community College Library located on the 6th Floor of 71 Sip Avenue in Jersey City, as part of the County’s ongoing Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) study.

The meeting will include the presentation of corridor recommendations and concept design alternatives from County staff and consultants. Residents, commuters, and community stakeholders will have an opportunity to learn about the study’s progress, review potential recommendations, and provide feedback to help inform the next phase of the project.

“Public input is an essential part of planning a transit system that works for the people who live, work, and travel throughout Hudson County,” said Hudson County Executive Craig Guy. “This meeting and our online survey give residents multiple opportunities to share what they want to see from the future of bus rapid transit in our communities.”

In addition to the community meeting, Hudson County has launched an online survey to collect input. The survey is designed to capture residents’ travel behaviors, priorities, and preferences and is available in multiple languages, including Arabic, Spanish and Hindi.

Residents are encouraged to participate in the September 23 community meeting and complete the online survey to ensure their voices are part of the BRT planning process.

In January, County Executive Guy secured $150,000 in County funding for a BRT feasibility study examining the potential for bus-prioritization infrastructure along John F. Kennedy Boulevard in Bayonne and Jersey City.

In April, the Hudson County Board of Commissioners unanimously awarded a contract to transportation consulting firm Nelson/Nygaard to conduct the BRT study. The study builds on the County’s efforts to explore improved transit options and safer, more efficient travel along the corridor.
