Following the Superstorm, shore area residents continue to wade through the paperwork and red-tape generated by the recovery process.

Once a quiet stretch of rural state highway between Routes 34 and 35, Route 66 in Neptune these days extends the Route 33 commercial district eastward with big-box stores, auto dealerships and an outlet mall. Now, everyone who crowds into those parking lots can also get Monmouth County government services as well.
