They seem to have little interest in the OG residents community or the historical designation of the town.į. They have control as the land owners, so they are focused on making money. The President of the the CMA told us publicly that his organization has been involved in negotiations to move the NERP forward. They have removed themselves as redevelopers, but that is just cosmetic. They are favored at the Mother Ship with zoning manipulations including those that increase congestion and ugliness in town: condos, Greek Temple, Mary’s Place, parking torture, etc.Į. Developers: (OGNED) Some of these people are connected to OG, but despite that, they conspire, whenever possible, to exploit the people of OG for profit. The late Ken Buckley who was on the HOA Board and the HPC told Jack that the HOA is “backing the Plan.”ĭ. We don’t know their motives, but this group of turncoats continues to back the developers and Neptuners regarding the North End. And they are aided and abetted by favoritism offered by key unelected bureaucrats at Town Hall.Ĭ. The Rule of Law: Normal procedures regarding land use law have been routinely violated in Neptune, but that crowd, along with their OG allies, does whatever it pleases. The Neptune Comedy is indifferent to the people of Ocean Grove, and one-party rule prevents any chance of changing the ending of this tragedy.ī.
Mary Beth Jahn stuck her neck out for the best interests of the people and the town, and she was beheaded by the Monmouth County and Neptune Democrat Party. Once upon a time there was a Committeewoman who favored single family zoning at the North End. Brantley is a Neptuner through and through and he will order the PB to approve the new plan unanimously. She has abdicated her key role as the protector of the people at the PB. She has appointed Committeeman Michael Brantley to take her place as the “Class one” member of the Planning Board. The Neptune Township Committee: Mayor Rizzo of Ocean Grove, who has swallowed the Kool Aid, will lead those Neptuner sheep to unanimously approve the new plan. Let’s consider the players in this Greek tragedy known as “The North End Revelopment Plan.” We have the main actors at the Neptune Township Comedy along with the Chorus consisting of the Home Groaners, the Camp Meeting, the Chamber of Commercials, the Historic Preservation Commission, the Planning Board, and The Wesley Lake Commission.Īnd providing the backdrop and script for this scandalous performance, there is the main villain of the piece-secretive developers lurking off stage while pulling on the puppet strings.Ī.
Once the contractors’ trucks begin to stir up the dust and clog our respiratory tracts, while creating a nightmare of congestion and a cacophony of noise, we will wind up with a large scale version of the Greek Temple on Main Avenue-a variation on a theme as the promise of historic small town OG may forever be lost.Īnd along with it will be the hopes for a pristine Wesley Lake, now known by all concerned as a “retention/detention basin.”
This drama about the historic town of Ocean Grove is now positioned to move forward in a direction that will be accepted by all the power players, leaving the residents of the Grove hung out to dry. Jack Bredin attended the Township Comedy’s meeting last night (August 2019,) and his conclusion is, “Ocean Grove is being sold down the river.”Īfter hearing OG’s Carol Rizzo, the 2019 Neptune Township Mayor, effusively praise the “new” North End Plan, Jack sank down in his chair-He says that all hope seems to be lost as this show unfolds with its final acts waiting in the wings. Raise the curtain at the Neptune Theater of the Absurd. *Stephen Sondheim: A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum.
