An Update About the Loew's and FOL
In response to a question during a candidates debate held at the Loew’s, Mayor Jerramiah Healy rather unexpectedly declared he would “not put another dime of City money” into renovating the Loew’s. The Mayor went on to say that “after 23 years of FOL running the Loew’s, maybe it’s time for new blood”, suggesting that he thought a for-profit promoter should be brought in to “help” Friends of the Loew’s. The Mayor’s comments were surprising, given that his administration had officially settled differences with FOL a few years ago, and is now pledged to work with us.
Councilman Steven Fulop, who is challenging the Mayor in the Municipal election, embraced FOL’s long-standing vision of fully restoring and renovating the Loew’s so it can fully function as a multi-discipline non-profit arts center similar to NJPAC. But during the debate he did not directly support Friends of the Loew’s. However, in a subsequent meeting with FOL representatives, Fulop did praise Friends of the Loew’s, acknowledged our accomplishments and leadership, and pledged to work with us if he were to be elected.
FOL had hoped to also meet with Mayor Healy to discuss his apparent concerns, but his tight campaign schedule did not allow this. Aides to the Mayor did suggest that they believed the Mayor had misspoken and they believed he would revise his stance when he had the chance to review it.
Friends of the Loew’s is a non-profit corporation, and we cannot and do not become involved in partisan activities. Read more
