The
City of Newark
In the past 16 years,
our city has made great strides. We have become
a cultural center with the opening of New Jersey
Performing Arts Center, the renovation of Symphony
Hall, and the expansion of The Newark Museum.
We have brought minor league baseball back to
Newark at Bears and Eagles Riverfront Stadium
and hosted the 2002 U.S. Youth Games, which showcased
the nation's stars of the future. Newark is a
major college town, with our five colleges and
universities giving us a student population larger
than Cambridge, Massachusetts.
We have brought housing,
development, jobs, and opportunities to all of
Newark's neighborhoods. We
have razed outdated housing projects and replaced
them with modern townhouses. Newark International
Airport has become the region's busiest, and is
the only one accessible by rail. Major corporations
like
Blue Cross/Blue Shield, MBNA, and IDT have relocated
to our downtown. Our historic office buildings
have been renovated to accommodate the needs of
the new global electronic economy, which has made
Newark one of the most "wired" cities
in America.
These are great achievements
and great strengths. Yet our greatest strength
lies not in bricks and mortar, but in our rainbow
of peoples and cultures, whose diversity and energy
have fueled our rebirth and growth.
