DEP PLAYING BIG ROLE IN KICK-STARTING RED BULL SOCCER STADIUM,
REVITALIZATION OF HARRISON WATERFRONT

TRENTON - The Hudson County town of Harrison has taken a huge step 
toward its revitalization goals with the opening over the weekend of Red 
Bull Arena, a world-class soccer venue made possible in large part by 
the efforts of the Department of Environmental Protection.

"Looking at this wonderful park with its unique sail-like roof, it is 
virtually impossible to imagine that this area encompassed abandoned

many good things to come for Harrison. The DEP is proud to be a player 
on a visionary team that is making this transformation happen."

The 25,000-seat Red Bull Arena is the cornerstone of a massive 
commercial, retail and residential redevelopment project that is being 
coordinated with the help of the DEP’s Brownfield Development Area program.
