Wright Place is part of the overall Westmont Station Redevelopment Plan. Years in the making, the Plan is essentially the “re-purposing” of the old Curtis Wright Aircraft Facility located in Wood-Ridge, NJ. The first phases of the redevelopment plan include development of what used to be the parking areas for workers in the plant. The focal point of the redevelopment area is “Rosie Square” paying homage to the icon representing women working in factories to support the World War II effort. The other side of the site is home to a newly constructed New Jersey Transit Rail Station, appropriately named “Wesmont Station”. The construction of this station was funded by the developer/owner of the site, with construction oversight provided by Somerset Development, one of the developers of Wright Place. The station is set to open in the first or second quarter of 2016. The station is on the Bergen County Line and is two stops to Secaucus Junction and then one stop to New York Penn Station, total time about 20 minutes to mid-town Manhattan.
