Members of the public will have one last chance to provide input before the Hoboken City Council votes on adopting the Hoboken Yards Redevelopment Plan at its regular meeting tonight, Dec. 16, at 7 p.m. The Hoboken Yards plan will allow New Jersey Transit to build 2.3 million square feet of new mixed-use development on land it owns south of Observer Highway and adjacent to the Hoboken train terminal.
