by Taylor Williams April 16, 2021

PATERSON, N.J. — BAW Development has broken ground on the redevelopment of Hinchliffe Stadium, an athletic venue in the Northern New Jersey city of Paterson that was originally built in 1932 as the home field of the New York Black Yankees of the Negro Leagues.

The project will include structured parking for residents that supplements Bella Terra’s existing parking structure.
