Harrison PATH station to get a long overdue overhaul

It's going to be like one of those teevee shows where they gut everything and start anew and baby the Harrison PATH station sure needs that. Built in 1936 it is woefully inadequate to service the community not to mention Red Bulls games. The Port Authority will spend over $250 million dollars on the improvements. The even better news is that in addition to the PATH station overhaul local residential and commercial properties are being built and leased near the station:

Hundreds of condominiums and rental units are already built, under construction or planned for the area surrounding the local PATH station. A multi-phase residential and commercial project now being developed adjacent to the Harrison station is called, aptly enough, Harrison Station.

See there, a few bars and restaurants for game nights (and don't forget there aren't just games on nights the Red Bulls are home, plenty of international friendly matches fill the Red Bull Arena on other evenings), a nice neighborhood to commute to and from, and you've hopefully got the beginnings of a sustainable new area in our area.

But when this is all done Harrison's buying a round...
