KARCHER'S FORT BILL - 'DEVELOPMENT WITHOUT CORRUPTION'

Measure to Begin Redevelopment of Fort Monmouth Property Signed into Law

FORT MONMOUTH - A bill sponsored by Senator Ellen Karcher which would create the Fort Monmouth Economic Revitalization Authority and begin preparing the region to survive the economic impact of a federal decision to close the base, was signed into law today by Governor Corzine.

"Today we look to the future," said Senator Karcher, D-Monmouth and Mercer. "When the BRAC (Base Realignment and Closure) Commission decided to shut the doors on Fort Monmouth, it was a blow to the region, but we're moving forward. With proper economic planning, smart growth and ethical redevelopment, we can turn the corner on this setback and realize a brighter tomorrow for the residents of Monmouth County."
