REMINDER: Community meeting on the Hoboken Municipal Complex tonight
Tonight, April 4, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., the City will host a community meeting on the Hoboken Municipal Complex at Fox Hills at 311 13th St.
The City and project consultants will review proposed alternatives for the final design of the Hoboken Municipal Complex based on the community feedback submitted during the first community meeting on March 16 and an online public survey.
The complex is envisioned to upgrade Hoboken’s outdated police and fire headquarters and department of public works garage into one, centralized facility that could also provide community amenities, including recreation facilities and an uptown branch of the Hoboken Public Library.

The Hoboken Public Library will host a virtual community listening session on Tuesday, April 5, at 6 p.m. regarding the uptown branch of the Hoboken Public Library proposed in the Hoboken Municipal Complex.
During the virtual Zoom meeting, the Library will discuss why they need an uptown branch, review what the City is proposing, look at what other communities have done with their newest library branches, and conduct a Q+A session.
