AGENDA

7:30 pm – 7:45 pm
Introductions
Rob Crow
President, The Village Neighborhood Association

7:45 pm – 8:15 pm
Jersey City NO Gas Pipeline
Dale Hardman
Jersey City residents and civic activists Dale Hardman and Stephen Musgrave have launched a web site called NoGasPipeline to keep everyone in Jersey City up to speed with the proposed gas pipeline project in Jersey City. Their site has quickly become the number one resource for all things pipeline for residents of Jersey City. In light of the horrific recent events in San Bruno, California, the importance to stop the progress of this project is becoming more urgent by the day. This is possibly one of the most important issues to face The Village, and your involvement is key to stopping it.
