From the publisher: Join us June 7 for The Newark Redevelopment Update

Real Estate NJ is going to have a seminar on June 7 at NJIT regarding Newark and its revitalization. Newark means a lot to me.

Klein on the square, etc. After the riots of 1967 Newark changed dramatically and has still not recovered from the stigma of that event. Over the last 15 years I have spent a lot of time in Newark in philanthropic endeavors and have been disappointed that Newark has not made the progress in revitalization that I had hoped it would.
