Board of Freeholders

The budget that Ocean County officials expect to employ in 2015 doesn't look as fat as the previous one. The tax rate in the draft plan still rises 9/10 of a cent. And in both instances, say members of the Board of Freeholders, it's a good sign.

The economic impact of Superstorm Sandy continues to take its toll on Ocean County's economy. So the New Freeholder Director announces there will be a major focus on business development and career training this year.
