The future of Fort Monmouth is of vital concern to the Monmouth County 
area and to the state as a whole. A Fort Monmouth Redevelopment 
Authority is needed to bring a broad-based approach to how to reuse the 
fort property, while retaining current jobs as long as possible and 
creating new jobs.

The Patriots Alliance, created to support the Fort Monmouth community, 
is grateful to Sen. Joseph M. Kyrillos Jr., R-Monmouth, for introducing 
legislation (S-1049) to create such a redevelopment authority. We 
endorse the legislation, although we recognize there may be changes made 
to it before its final passage.

We also support the efforts of Assemblyman Michael J. Panter and Sen. 
Ellen Karcher, both D-Monmouth, in working to create legislation for the 
same purpose.

A redevelopment authority is needed to ensure the proper planning, 
implementation and oversight of the redevelopment of Fort Monmouth. Its 
creation will protect the economy, environment and quality of life of 
the affected communities, as well as that of the state as a whole.
