As reported http://tapinto.net A $336 million redevelopment of the New Jersey Performing Arts Center’s 12-acre campus that is planned to bring 350 new apartments with shops and restaurants formally broke ground on Wednesday.

Construction was visibly underway on the remake of Chambers Plaza in front of the Arts Center as NJPAC leaders gathered with city and state officials to celebrate the transformative project, which is a project that meets certain criteria for state funding and tax credits under the Aspire program.  Leaders said the project will include a pedestrian-friendly extension of Mulberry Street through the campus and be complete in 2027.
