Team New Jersey Elite has mentioned that they have a B Plan location in Barnegat. Perhaps they could locate this complex at the former Shoreline Sand & Gravel site. The trees are already removed and there is a road into the complex.

Who cares about trees? The only trees I care about is the paper getting taken out of Barnegat Tax Papers wallets. This is an excellent ratable and is massively needed in Barnegat.

Now lets just see if we can make it work, if anyone can screw up a great thing like this it is the people of Barnegat.

Just like "the people of Barnegat" screwed up the Sonic that wanted to come to Barnegat, or the high end steak house that Sweet Jenny's wanted to open. Oh wait, it wasn't "the people of Barnegat" that screwed that up it was the two committeemen running for re-election this year. You can't even have a hot dog stand in Barnegat because of these guys and you blame the people? You should blame the fools that voted for them.

BeyondReality,
Do you know what trees do? They produce oxygen so people can breathe. They also retain ground water that goes back into the aquifer and then into the wells that provide the water to your home.

Bob, although I agree with you that as an overall the people of Barnegat are not to blame, that does not alleviate the few who are not members of the township committee who do nothing but wine and complain about anything and everything that end up ruining it for everyone. But yes you are correct, the township administration has been EXTREMELY business unfriendly under the excuse of keeping the town "Small & Historic". It is sad all the rateables we have missed out on: Steakhouses, Walmart, Shoprite, Sonic etc. It is sad and we are feeling the effects now.

Although a heavy responsibility lays on the township for their actions that does not mean that the residents get away from their responsibility free. People in this town LOVE to complain above everything and because of that the town suffers. Both parties, maybe not equally, but both are responsible.

Rick, Water to my home? Go tell the people of Barnegat who cant afford a home and ask them how much they care about where the water comes from that goes to the home they foreclosed on. I bet you dont find one homeless guy on the street concerned about where his water comes from. Thank God I am more fortunate than most but you should think more about human lifes and less about trees. Trees can be regrown, humans cant.

Yeah, we've all noticed the large number of homeless folks sleeping in the streets of Barnegat.
And you can't regrow trees if someone clear cuts an area and paves it over.

Wrong again. Some uneducated voters voted for the committeemen that ran out Sonic, Sweet Jennys steak house, the hot dog stand and others. It's ALL the people of Barnegat that suffer because of these few thousand fools.

Then ALL the people of Barnegat should vote. You can't complain about the elected people in town if you don't vote at all.

And in case you haven't noticed, Sweet Jenny's is alive and well and living on East Bay Ave.

The original owner opened a second Sweet Jenny's on the island, before the fire. After the fire, he sold the one on the island and then sold the store name to an employee who then opened in the former Hurricane House.

I hope to see you busy getting the other 2/3 of the adults out to vote this November. Or perhaps YOU should be the only person to vote, then you can elect the candidate of your choice.

You do vote, don't you?

Wow! You really have no idea what you are talking about. As I said, Sweet Jenny's wanted to open a HIGH END STEAK HOUSE in historic railcars. The cars were then destroyed and NOTHING new was opened in Barnegat. The township prevented this from happening just like they prevented other places from opening. Sweet Jenny's then moved to another town to open up another store. Why do you think they never rebuilt after the fire? All you do is attack because you bring NOTHING to the table and have no idea what you are talking about. You have made 12 posts here and you have said nothing of value other than showing a total lack of knowledge on local issues. Yes I vote, the difference is I know what I'm talking about. (and I don't need to make 12 posts to make my point). Now continue your ignorant personal attacks as you bring nothing to the topic being discussed here. I will not waste time on trolls. Bye Bye.

Why don't you ask the owner of the Waretown Sonic why he could not open in Barnegat. He told the press that he had to end up going to a town that wanted him. Or ask the original owners of Sweet Jenny's why they destroyed the railroad cars they spent $40,000 to move to the site of their new high end steak house. And why they never built the site. Or ask the hotdog cart lady why the chamber of commerce WOULD NOT let her join as she was run out of town. Or ask the young lady that wants to sell her LOCALLY grown veggies at the BARNEGAT farmers market, but the ex Mayor's wife won't let her because the out of town vendors complained that her prices were too low.

Come on "Bill" wake up and look around you. Barnegat is a joke for business. Everyone knows it..... except the political hacks.

Bob, You have never posted anything positive about the town.
I really wonder why you still live in Barnegat. Okay, maybe it is because you don't seem to pay any taxes in the town.

I pay plenty of taxes "Rick". It's low life stalkers like you that give Barnegat a bad name. You know nothing and prove it every time you post.
