Reply to comment by FloatingWeight in All brush was cleared out of the fenced-in area behind the Colgate Clock: change coming? by Delicious_Adeptness9
There was contamination from an old oil tank that was buried on the site, but that was cleaned up a bunch of years ago. Its slated to be a park, they ran out of money a bunch of years back. IIRC- GS had set aside a lump sum, and then a smaller maintenance sum annually for several years, and then it ran out, but they would occasionally do some work as the maintenance money trickled in. You can see the walkway extends back there.

From Solomon’s ama “Unfortunately, as of today, the state of NJ wants to develop the property. Jersey City cannot turn it into a park without their approval (they also can’t develop it without our approval). So we are in a stalemate at the moment. My commitment is to find a way through it but it is going to take some time and negotiation to get it done.”

I mean... if that's what Solomon says, I guess... but they have already done work in that part of the property that the state owns... so how did that happen?
I am not saying Solomon is being outright dishonest here, but he may be misunderstanding the situation.
