In October 2010, the city received notification of a $2.3 million TIGER grant for continued work on the project.[8][14][15]
The funding was jeopardized by potential cuts being made in the House of Representatives,[16] but was later allocated.[17] A synopsis of the grant stated:
Planning and design efforts will address modifications to infrastructure, subdivision of properties, zoning changes, and connections to the light rail stop and bike paths at Canal Crossing, a 111-acre redevelopment site in Jersey City surrounded by predominately minority households with high unemployment and poverty rates. Revitalization of this area has been hampered by outdated infrastructure, large tracts of contaminated former industrial lands, and a road system that fails to sufficiently link up with the local regional rail network. The project focus will be to create a residential, mixed-use, transit-oriented development with access to open space amenities in a community with a significant low-income population. The process will also develop a formal legal framework to ensure that redevelopment is equitable.[18]
PPG sued the United States for cleanup costs, arguing that the government's wartime control over the plant during both world wars exposed it to partial liability for the cleanup. The district court held in 2018 that the government's general wartime control of the plant was insufficient to create liability in the absence of a direct connection between the government and waste disposal activities.[19]
PPG has sued the Jersey City Redevelopment Authority stating that its redevelopment plans are hindered by that of the agency.[20]
In September 2019 it was announced that the Critierian Group would convert a warehouse in the district to the state's largest film studio.[21][22][23]
In February 2023, Jersey City approved a charter education campus, with the schools being the BelovED Community Charter School and the Empowerment Academy Charter School, which will create an entire new public school district with over 2,000 students. The campus will include an elementary school for 720 students, a middle school for 360 students, and two high schools for 960 students total. The high schools will feature state-of-the-art facilities for subjects like robotics and 3-D printing. The campus is supposed to have a park-like atmosphere and pedestrian-friendly. The schools will be open to students from the entire city, with free bus transportation to every neighborhood.[24]
