Many cities through out the state would bend over backwards for projects like this. Trenton, Camden, Irvington to name a few. Disaster areas.......

Have others taken this long or longer?<br /><br />Also, if the council members are now asking developers to be responsible for their property, I would appreciate that they also turn their attention to landlords and building owners who have let their building fall into disrepair. I am speaking specifically of a beautiful building on Park Ave. and 2nd I believed. I think the owner or part owner is Edison Garcia. It is across from the donut shop on Park, and I am told it used to be a jazz bar at one time. The building, which is architecturally beautiful, becomes more ruined by the day because of lack of owner interest. I would appreciate the council requiring the owner either have them restore it or sell it.

Or, as a consequence of overextending, don't have sufficient staff to manage all they have going on. When a project "stalls" it is justifiable cause for concern. Aside from the aesthetics it isn't healthy for the partially exposed structure, particularly these flimsy wood frames, to be exposed to weather. Someone, a Bank, or the Developer himself, has money invested. That investment isn't earning anything, conclusion: there is a problem. Another project which is taking forever is the storefront-apartment building on South Avenue and Belvedere.<br />The City might consider requiring these Develpoers to post a Completion Bond and/or set a time frame for completion lest the tax abatement that usually a component of thess deals be rescinded?
