An affordable Asbury Park…

  • MORE PARKING for Asbury Park residents that is safe and affordable

  • NO NEW TAX BREAKS FOR WATERFRONT DEVELOPERS while homeowners pay more & schools get less.

  • REQUIRE LOCAL WORKFORCE PROVISION ensuring good-paying union jobs in development agreements.

  • HISTORICAL PRESERVATION ORDINANCE to protect our historic buildings from developers

  • DEVELOPMENT FEASIBILITY STUDY to stop the spread of poorly designed “cookie-cutter” projects that don’t make sense.
