The Bayonne City Council has postponed the closing date for the sale of city-owned land at the former Military Ocean Terminal at Bayonne (MOTBY) to December 31, 2026, extending the timeline to consider community proposals such as a protected walkway. Concurrently, the council approved an $80,000 one-year contract with the Hudson Regional Health Commission for health education and community outreach funded by opioid settlement monies. Additionally, a $107,687 environmental consulting contract was authorized with Onterris, Inc. for site assessment work within the Constable Hook Brownfield Development area. These actions reflect Bayonne's ongoing efforts to manage redevelopment and public health initiatives through targeted procurement and grant funding.
