Bayonne Mayor Jimmy Davis has signed the purchase and sale agreement to buy a parcel of land back from the Port Authority for a ferry terminal.  Mayor Davis said, “I am very happy that we are one step closer to completing this real estate transaction, which will help us achieve our goal of ferry service for the people of Bayonne.”

For a purchase price of $4.4 million, the City of Bayonne has obtained 2.3 acres at the former Military Ocean Terminal Bayonne (MOTBY), which juts out two miles into Upper New York Bay from Bayonne’s eastern waterfront.  Of that parcel, 1.6 acres will provide space for the ferry terminal and parking.  The remaining 0.7 acre will continue the Hudson Riverfront Walkway along the southern shore of the former MOTBY.   An adjoining private property owner, Lincoln Equities, is contributing an acre of additional land for the ferry project in return for building the UPS Facility.  The terminal will be located about halfway out the former MOTBY, approximately one mile east of the Bayonne mainland.
