Representing the best aspiration’s for Newark’s future.
The Airport City Newark (ACN) coalition represents a group of universities, government bodies, and research entities coordinating to maximize the benefit to Newark from its airport. For many years this group has supported community interface, academic research, environmental review, urban planning and design, government and agency coordination, multi-modal transportation studies, and economic analysis to achieve its goal. Supported by the Prudential Foundation, the effort seeks to enable the City to take full advantage of the potential Newark Liberty International Airport offers.
