I don't know about Asbury, but in Long Branch there are CDBG programs
and UEZ Programs that are available to all differing economic levels
within the community.
If you guys have Community Development Block Grant money, they most
likely are spending it to beef up a department at 100%, when they
should allocate some funds to property owner programs.
We had a paint your house program. We had a matching facade program
some of these programs were funded by UEZ money, some by CDBG
(Federal money).
Some of us here stay on top of them. When we slack off, they
realocate as quick as you could say jack rabbit.
Of course no one who is vocally or publicly opposed to them ever gets
any of these program benefits.
Check into it, if they don't offer these programs in Asbury, stop by
Community Development in Long Branch, pick up a brochure, or check it
out online at teh city's site and then ask Asbury why they don't
access these funds. If they do access, then where have they been
going?
