Last Monday afternoon, Congressman Frank Pallone held a press conference at the Seabrook Wilson House (Located in Bayshore Waterfront Park) to announce the completion of the first phase of the Port Monmouth Hurricane and Storm Damage Reduction Project.
If you couldn't attend the press conference below is a video of it. There is a lot of very good information there that should be of interest to many residents living in and around the area of Port Monmouth.
Pallone stated:
“The Port Monmouth flood control project will protect homes and businesses in our area from future flooding,” said Congressman Pallone. “I have worked for years to bring this project to fruition, so I’m especially pleased to announce the completion of the critical first phase. Port Monmouth, like so many other coastal New Jersey communities, faced serious flooding during Hurricane Sandy. All along the Bayshore, flooding has become an increasingly common phenomenon as severe storms have become more frequent and residential and commercial development has increased. The project strengthens our local infrastructure, reduces the risk of future flood damage and will keep our community safe.”

I guess the Congressman's persistence in obtaining funds for this project for all of those years has paid off for the residents of Pt. Monmouth. All the naysayers that criticized him for not getting this project done should publicly come out to acknowledge and thank him for his efforts.
The Congressman is fighting for the people in the coastal area in NJ that is in his district. He does not try to prevent people from obtaining the services they require as citizens of this country, as some of our other NJ reprswentatives.
