NJ FRAMES Open House

TRENTON – On Thursday, February 23, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the lobby of the Two River Theater in Red Bank, the Department of Environmental Protection will host an event for the public to offer input about flooding concerns in the Two Rivers region and learn what steps are being taken to improve flooding resiliency in the area.

The open house will feature booths where the public can learn about flood resiliency efforts, sea- level rise, ecology basics and more.

The open house is part of the DEP’s New Jersey Fostering Regional Adaptation through Municipal Economic Scenarios (NJ FRAMES) project, which aims to help officials in the region understand the impacts of flood resiliency decisions in the communities surrounding the Navesink and Shrewsbury rivers.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) a year ago awarded New Jersey a $900,000 Regional Coastal Resilience Grant to help the 15 municipalities in northeastern Monmouth County develop a regional plan to address the potential impacts of storm surge and other coastal hazards.

The Two River Theater is at 21 Bridge Avenue in Red Bank.

KEANSBURG BOROUGH (MONMOUTH COUNTY, NEW JERSEY) – Candidates for Keansburg Borough Council Anthony DePompa, Tom Foley and George Hoff are inviting borough residents to come to their Campaign Headquarters, 320 Main Street in town, on Saturday, April 14 between the hours of 1-3 p.m.

There will be a host of amusements for the family at the event, including food (pizza, hamburgers, hot dogs, etc.), cotton candy, candy apples and even a clown for the kids, among others. Meanwhile, the candidates will be standing by to talk to anyone about any issue in town they would like to.

“Keansburg is a wonderful town,” DePompa said, “it’s a place for families and what we are hoping to do is provide a relaxed atmosphere where people can bring their wives or husbands and their kids and feel comfortable.”

“I think creating a nice event where families can get together, with something there for the kids, is a great idea. I also hope to meet with a lot of people and hear what is on their minds when it comes to where they want to see the borough heading in the future,” Hoff said.

“A lot of us who have kids see this as a chance for them to go to a function and not just dread it, while it gives adults a chance to talk to myself and my running mates, about things they are thinking about where it regards the town,” Foley noted.
