Business Sector Redevelopment on Route 18

Route 18's business sector has been abandoned by most retail vendors, and quite frankly has been an eyesore in East Brunswick for years. Following Mayor Kevin McEvoy's lead, Mayor Brad Cohen has taken the reins of a massive redevelopment campaign which will include both the upper and lower ends of East Brunswick, especially on Route 18.

Businesses are being lured back to our beautiful community with incentives and well thought out site plans which will make East Brunswick the place to shop, eat, see a concert, and even want to move to over the next few years.

As a local realtor and a local committeeman here in East Brunswick, I take great pride in announcing the new redevelopment plans and I'm looking forward to doing my part in making this campaign a huge success.

Have Anything to Sell?

It is the Holiday season and that means many are looking for a deal. Now is a good time to "clean house". Take some time and see what you don't need anymore but someone else would love. Make sure it is working and in good condition.

Where are you going to sell it ? Well did you know that if you're on Facebook, pretty much any
town has a Facebook page for that town, and all you have to do is just become friends with
the towns page. Once you are friends, follow the rules on how to post your item and pretty soon
you will be selling your stuff to make room for new stuff. Happy Selling!

Quiet Space

I know that the holidays are coming, but if you have a Junior this is a busy time for them too.
Many kids are studying for their SAT or ACT.

Did you know that the East Brunswick Library has quiet rooms. It is a small private room that you can study in without interruptions and even talk quietly if needed with a partner or tutor. The best part of these rooms is they are free. All you need to have is your library card. Its that easy; give your library card and get a quiet room for two hours. Good luck to all the students!!!

Holiday Tip

With the Holidays upon us I wanted to give you a tip for your grease. The Holidays mean a lot more cooking then usual. Do you know how to dispose of your grease properly? Best thing to do is store your used fat and grease in a container and when it is full put it in the garbage. However, cooking oil can be recycled. Bring your cooking oil to EB Recycling Center on Dunhams Corner. They will take care of it for you and treat it. Hope this helps!
