The Village Neighborhood Association (VNA), in collaboration with Gotham West Development and the City of Jersey City, invites you to attend 4-FIRST, a presentation showcasing the visionary works of four landscape architecture firms aimed at transforming the long-abandoned and deteriorated First Street Park in the Italian Village. Invited design firms from across the New York metro area will present their design concepts for neighborhood feedback and consideration.
The presentation will be introduced by the VNA First Street Park Restoration Committee, and a brief history of the site – from its civic advocacy origins in the 1940s to its Mayor Paul Jordan-led “Legacy of Parks” construction in the 1970s – will be given by John Gomez of JC Landmarks.
