Welcome to the HCIA!
On behalf of the Hudson County Improvement Authority (HCIA), welcome to our website.
Located in the fastest-growing county in the State, the HCIA is an autonomous public agency with a mission of providing a wide range of needed services to the residents and businesses of Hudson County at the least cost to taxpayers. The HCIA has broad responsibilities in the County including solid waste and recycling management, financing for public & private initiatives, redevelopment projects, transportation management, recreation services, alternative energy initiatives and environmental education.
Recently, the HCIA completed the development of the Hudson County Schools of Technology High Tech High School at Laurel Hill Park in Secaucus. Located on 23 acres of Laurel Hill Park, the 340,000 square foot campus consists of a three-story central hub including classrooms, administrative offices, cafeteria, gymnasium, a 324-seat theater and three extensions for teaching environments. The $160 million project broke ground in May 2016 and was completed on time and on budget. With a commitment to environmental sustainability, the campus was designed and constructed to LEED-standards and includes a green roof, geothermal heating and windmills.
Hudson County is home to Skyway Golf Course at Lincoln Park West in Jersey City- Hudson County’s first public golf course developed and financed by the HCIA. Since opening in June 2015, Skyway Golf Course at Lincoln Park West has become one of the best public golf courses in the area featuring 9 challenging championship holes- 3 par fives, 3 par fours and 3 par threes totaling 3,200 yards.

Plastics Are The Problem: It’s Time To Fix It!
Plastics have become a part of everyday life and are found everywhere from computer parts to water bottles and sunglasses. Plastics provide some great benefits including being inexpensive to produce, lightweight and durable. Unfortunately, plastics can have a detrimental effect on our environment.
Plastics are separated out in 7 different categories depending on the types of materials the plastics are composed of. Here in Hudson County, Plastic Types 1 & 2 should be placed in your curbside recycling bin. Look for the “Recycle Triangle” which can normally be found on the bottom of plastic materials.
