A new, four-year school of medicine at the former Hoffman-La Roche site on the border of Nutley and Clifton took one step closer to completion on Friday.
During their public meeting, the Nutley Board of Commissioners introduced an ordinance to adopt the first phase of a redevelopment plan for the property, which has been vacant since Hoffman-La Roche relocated in 2013.
“This is a historic moment for Nutley,” Township Attorney Alan Genitempo said at the meeting.
In June, Hackensack University Health Network and Seton Hall University announced that the two organizations have finalized an agreement to create a new, four-year school of medicine at the vacant site.
The partnership would establish the only private Catholic school of medicine in the state, according to a release.
