Neglia Group led the transformation of Kearny’s historic waterfront, revitalizing a deteriorating 1964 dock into a premier facility for scholastic rowing and public recreation. The dock was quadrupled in size from 60 feet to 240 feet, making it one of the largest public-school rowing docks in the United States! The project was approved by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the NJDEP and fully funded through an NJDEP Green Acres Grant. The dock now features three access ramps allowing for simultaneous launches, and reduced waiting times. Neglia Group also designed a gazebo to enrich the new dock area, allowing community engagement, and providing a flexible area for rowing teams to train or gather during inclement weather.
