The split between the Centre Pompidou and State of New Jersey may soon be repaired after a new satellite venue was announced for Jersey City following the original plan’s mid-summer cancellation. The museum will be realized at 100,000 square feet. Jersey City's Mayor Steven Fulop says it will be a "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
ARTnews reports: "Crucially, the new plan does not include support from the New Jersey Economic Development Authority, which previously said that the Centre Pompidou’s Jersey City outpost was 'no longer viable', leading the project to be indefinitely postponed. Instead, a tax abatement will help make the project possible."
The abatement covers 30 years. Some critics had derided the original OMA-designed project as a tool of gentrification since it was first announced in 2021.
