Jersey City is making it easier for organizations to start community gardens on vacant land, with the City Council unanimously passing revisions to the city’s Adopt-A-Lot law.
City spokesperson Jennifer Morrill says the Adopt-A-Lot changes are one aspect of the city’s “Sustainable Jersey City” initiative, which will also include the creation of a Climate Action Plan, the measurement of the city’s municipal carbon footprint and addressing food insecurity in Jersey City.
