Fulop aims to limit chain stores in Downtown Jersey City

The Fulop administration is proposing rules intended to limit chain stores in the city's Downtown.
The new rules, given initial approval at Tuesday night's Planning Board meeting by a 7-1 vote, seek to preserve and protect the character of Downtown neighborhoods, Mayor Steve Fulop told The Jersey Journal. The measure now goes before the City Council.
"Mom-and-pop-type retailers protect that and foster that and encourage that," Fulop said.
Fulop noted that the owners of the former Hard Grove Cafe intend to convert that space, located across the street from the Grove Street PATH station in a heavily trafficked area of the Downtown, into a bank.
