Jersey City took a first step towards a new zoning plan that Mayor Steve Fulop says would boost affordable housing in New Jersey’s second-largest city. The city council Monday approved the first reading of a new ordinance that would require developers to designate between 10% and 15% of new units as affordable. It’s the city’s second attempt at such an ordinance. A court threw out the initial plan after objections from affordable housing advocates.
Mayor Steve Fulop discussed the new proposal with NJ Spotlight News.
