For nearly three decades, the community has used a portion of an alleyway that traverses the Brunswick Community Garden for public gardening purposes with no complaints from any property owner. This was until very recently. 

 

In response to those complaints, Councilman Solomon and Jersey City are taking action to ensure the garden remains fully intact and in the hands of the community.

​

“The Brunswick Community Garden has been a vital, vibrant part of our Downtown community for over 25 years, built on city property for our community. Recently, a  developer purchased a neighboring lot and is requesting the city destroy a portion of the garden to reopen an alleyway. We will not do that. That’s why I’m working with the administration to defend the public interest by keeping the garden in the hands of the people – and I’m proud to partner with the Brunswick Community Garden to ensure the garden remains a green, open community treasure.” - Councilman James Solomon
