“RexPlex has a dynamic location in a high-traffic retail district.  RexPlex is visible from the NJ Turnpike and from planes using Newark Airport runway.  The City of Elizabeth was able to fill a hole in its redevelopment district.” says Elizabeth Mayor Chris Bollwage.

“The exciting part is that in an urban community like Elizabeth, there is often a lack of recreational opportunities.  This building will now offer recreational opportunities for all ages. It will give kids something to do as well as create jobs for them.”  Noted Elizabeth’s Mayor.
