Bayonne Looks to Facilitate a Film Studio on 70 Waterfront Acres
Officials plan to act this month on a plan to revamp zoning regulations at a former industrial property in the hopes of helping a new film production facility rise in the Peninsula City.
The Bayonne City Council recently introduced an ordinance that would alter land use allowances for 13 lots near the city’s southern border along First Street near Avenue A. The land, in the shadow of the Bayonne Bridge, overlooks Staten Island and housed an oil storage facility for Texaco from the turn of the 20th century until the 1980s.
