Jersey City has pulled back on a threatened cancellation of a tax abatement for three of the six buildings within The Beacon Community, at 20 Beacon Way. The city and developer have settled a dispute over the Beacon’s treatment of workers in the buildings.
Last December, the city announced it would terminate the 15-year tax abatements as the developer, Baldwin Asset Associates Urban Renewal Company, allegedly defaulted on its 2005 financial agreement with the city.
