JERSEY CITY, N.J. (CBSNewYork) – The “Jersey Shore” spin-off has found a new Garden State home.

A week after Hoboken denied MTV a shooting permit, Snooki and friends will be free to G-T-L right next door in Jersey City.

The show’s producer has been granted a permit to shoot for six weeks in a two-story home near the corner of Grove and Mercer streets, according to reports.

Production is set to begin this month.

Hoboken Mayor Dawn Zimmer said the city’s decision to deny a permit for a spin-off of the MTV reality show was based on the “negative impact it would have on the health, safety and welfare of our community.”

In a document on the City of Hoboken’s website, the mayor explained that because Hoboken is “geographically a very small city…onlookers and fans would find it very easy to follow the production through the streets…the density of our city does not lend itself to 24-hour activity as would be experienced by our citizens.”

The document goes on to say that “the constant presence of such a production would be an attractive nuisance causing crowds to assemble at every hour of the day and night.”

The “Jersey Shore” is now in its fifth season.

How do you feel about the “Jersey Shore” crew coming to Jersey City? Let us know below…
