Save the Palisades Here in Hudson County
Save the Palisades Cliffs // August 5, 2009Developers, with the approval of local Planning Boards, have been hacking away at the top, face and base of the cliffs for decades (recently netting has been draped over the cliff in North Bergen to prevent falling rock due to recent development). Over the years numerous citizen groups have tried to stop the gouging and drilling but were stymied due to the lack of a legal means to prevent development. That has changed.

The Quality of Life Coalition (QLC) is exactly what its name implies. It is a coming together, a coalescing, of various groups and individuals concerned about the air, earth and water, about the density of development, the need for open space, the lack of parking, the flooding, and the host of difficulties that militate against a good and healthy living environment in this densely populated urban city.
The Hoboken streetscape and the city’s old and historic buildings are the charms that make Hoboken unique and desirable. Preservation of those gifts from the past is among the Coalition’s objectives in its continuing efforts to keep Hoboken as “a special place on the Hudson” as described by the Regional Plan Association (The Lower Hudson, RPA 1966).
