In 2004, the city council of Jersey City designated a sizable area in downtown Jersey City as in need of redevelopment pursuant to the Local Redevelopment and Housing Law, N.J.S.A. 40A:12A-1 to -73. That area constitutes the bulk of what is now the Powerhouse Arts District (PAD), envisioned as a district preserving the existing industrial structures and providing ample, affordable living and working space for artists.
