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.

As Winter Closes – The Spring Door Opens!
Spring brings change all around! As the trees turn from bare to blossoming, it reminds us to kick off the season of renewal with a clean, decluttered space. Believe it or not, Spring cleaning also has a ton of health benefits too! It can reduce stress, strengthen your immune system, and help you avoid illnesses. Fortunately, the Hudson County Improvement Authority is ready to help you prepare for Spring cleaning with several upcoming opportunities to safely dispose of unwanted personal documents and confidential information that clutters your home.
Why Should I Shred Paper?
In addition to decluttering your home this Spring, shredding paper can protect your personal information from people who are trying to steal it. Identity theft is a common crime used to steal personal and sensitive information across the United States. According to the Federal Trade Commission, 4 million tons of junk mail are sent to Americans annually. In addition to this junk mail or address mix-up, important mail like bank statements can easily fall into the wrong hands. Shredding personal documents and sensitive materials is the best and only way to protect yourself from identity theft and keep your confidential information secure. Shredding paper can also help you save on storage space, remove fire hazards and help the environment!

Junior Master Composter
Junior Master Composters is an opportunity for teens to learn about reducing food waste, making compost, and spearheading change in their own communities. Managing compost helps our community and our planet by preventing food and other materials from ending up in the landfill.
Reducing Food Waste This Holiday Season
As the holiday season quickly approaches, family and friends gather to celebrate yearly traditions and make new memories with one another. It’s no surprise that food is the focal point of many of these holiday traditions and memories. Unfortunately, during this time of the year, millions of pounds of food remain uneaten and end up in landfills. In fact, I Love A Clean San Diego, which is an environmental nonprofit in San Diego County, estimates Americans waste 25% more food during Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day than the rest of the year. Food waste negatively impacts food security, the environment and climate change. According to the Natural Resources Defense Council, Americans throw out more than 400 pounds of food per person each year. From people throwing away uneaten turkey, green beans, mashed potatoes and other seasonal treats, food waste is a growing problem that we must tackle.
