The Project Will Build a New,Full Modernized Collier Center with New Afforabble Apartments of Seniors

Mayor James Solomon recently announced a new vision for the Maureen Collier Senior Center at 335 Bergen Avenue: a full renovation and modernization of the center, along with new 100% affordable housing for seniors built on City-owned land at the same site. The proposal responds to an urgent need in Jersey City, where seniors on fixed incomes are among the residents most at risk of being priced out of the neighborhoods they helped build. The news comes as Solomon continues to tackle Jersey City’s affordability crisis. Today, the property is not zoned for any kind of housing. It would be the first 100% senior affordable housing project in Jersey City in a decade.
