Even Bribes Can't Revitalize Journal Square

Journal Square, the heart of Jersey City 75 years ago, has seen better days. Redeveloping the area may hinge on a family owned real estate company. The last time they proposed redeveloping the area, they had support from former Hudson County Executive Robert Janiszewski and developer Charles Kushner, and still the deal fell through. Janiszewsky and Kushner are both in jail relating to bribery scandals they were involved in. If bribery can't save Journal Square, we're thinking the only thing left is seven plagues.
