After demonstrating a commitment to long-term organization and obtaining financial assistance from the Jersey City Urban Enterprise Zone Program, the Monticello Community Development Corporation was admitted to the State's Main Street Program in 2005.
Known for its charming, historic architecture and warm community spirit, Jersey City’s Monticello Avenue district was the first Hudson County area to be included in the New Jersey Community Affairs Commission’s Main Street Program.
Main Street is a comprehensive, community-driven revitalization program designed to preserve the community history while improving accessibility to goods and services, generating business development and employment opportunities.
The area was also designated as a part of the UEZ and has been awarded over $1.3 million in UEZ funding for façade rehabilitation and other capital projects. Additionally, the State of New Jersey Department of Transportation awarded $1.2 million for streetscape upgrades.
