EATONTOWN - In a few short years, Fort Monmouths main post will be transformed into a hub of
economic and community activity, officials said in a
news conference with local media Thursday.
The conference was held to let the community
know whats new at the fort.
You will see things accelerate rather dramatically, said James V. Gorman, the chairman of the Fort
Monmouth Economic Revitalization Authority, the
team leading the economic return of the shuttered
Army installation.
The press event at the Marina at Oceanport featured many of the movers and shakers involved in the
redevelopment.
People can see the transformation for themselves
too, now that the fort is open to public traffic for the
first time since 2001.

the end of this year and be completed by 2019.

New Jersey hospitals would be hit hard by the repeal of Obamacare if Congress doesnt replace it with
a law that would include similar levels of insurance
coverage, their trade group said Thursday.
Hospitals would lose money from both private insurance and Medicaid reimbursements. They would
need to treat more consumers who lose their coverage in emergency departments. And both would put a
strain on their bottom line, officials said.
So many of the strides weve made in expanding
access to health care and in reforming our health
care system for the future are now in danger of
being walked back, said Betsy Ryan, president and
chief executive officer of the New Jersey Hospital
