This document outlines Bayonne's planning perspective from 2015 and beyond. It summarizes major development projects aimed at tackling the city's structural deficit by bringing in new tax revenue from businesses, housing, and amenities. Notable projects include the Promenade with 300 residential units, Redina building with 80,000 square feet of medical and other uses, and the expansion of Royal Caribbean's cruise port facilities. The planning seeks to stabilize taxes by increasing property values, attract more businesses to Broadway, and generate over $1 billion in infrastructure investments around the city.
