No Civilian Housing At Earle

The Asbury Park Press is reporting that the Navy has reached an agreement to buy out the contract for the Laurelwood Housing Area at Earle Naval Weapons Station. The 300 townhomes originally built for military housing will be demolished.

This is good news for Colts Neck and Tinton Falls taxpayers who would have picked up the tab for education and municipal services had the Navy gone through with its plan make the development available for civilian housing.
