At a special meeting on November 26, the BLRA voted unanimously to sell to Ports America for $90 million a portion of the Maritime District on The Peninsula at Bayonne Harbor. Under terms of the deal Ports America will pay approximately $1.8 million in annual taxes. The property will continue in perpetuity to be taxed at the same rate as other properties in Bayonne. The deal also calls for Ports America to invest make $15.2 million in capital improvements to the site. Ports America will build a roll-on roll-off marine terminal operation that will complement the visionary redevelopment plan adopted by the City Council.
