The Morris Canal CDC 

The Morris Canal circa 1885

About us

The MC CDC was formed in 1999 by a neighborhood coalition in Jersey City, NJ. It is based in the Morris Canal Area of Jersey City -- also known as the Lafayette section -- just outside of Liberty State Park. The MC CDC has received developer's designation by the Jersey City Redevelopment Agency for properties in the Morris Canal Redevelopment Area and Jersey City has written the MC CDC into its redevelopment plan.

The MC CDC has assembled an experienced and committed Board of Directors, whose donation of time and expertise, along with our talented group of volunteers, provides an excellent pool of resources for the MC CDC to draw from.
