New Jersey Future has unveiled the winners of this year’s Smart Growth Awards, highlighting projects from Paterson to Westfield with a major focus on planning and redevelopment.
Westfield has set the stage for more than $400 million in mixed-use redevelopment that town leaders say will revitalize their business district and serve as a model for other mature suburbs, with hopes of breaking ground early next year despite opposition by some residents.
Local officials in Westfield have cleared the way for the Hudson’s Bay Co. to redevelop a vacant Lord & Taylor site and several adjacent blocks downtown, with plans calling for more than 300,000 square feet of office space and some 200 residential units.
