One of the fastest-growing areas at the Jersey Shore is Southern Ocean County. There are many projects that are taking place in Southern Ocean County both residential and commercial. Lacey, Waretown, Barnegat, Manahawkin, Tuckerton, and Little Egg Harbor are all seeing expansion and growth. Just take a ride along Route 9 from Lacey to Little Egg Harbor and you'll see the added volume. Some may like this, some do not, but that's another article for another time.

Recently I was doing some errands at Stafford Park, which is on Route 72 near the Garden State Parkway (Exit 63). Stafford Park is home to Target, Costco, Best Buy, and PetSmart to mention a few. While I was there I noticed a new construction site next to the Vitamin Shoppe and across from PetSmart.

I decided to grab some pics to share with you and let you see the work in the event you haven't been to Stafford Park recently. I also went over to some of the workers on the site and inquired as to what may be coming to the Manahawkin shopping center. According to what I was told a new "auto center" like "Jiffy Lube" would be coming to Stafford Park. I cannot confirm this information, but this is what I was told at the site, so for now, it looks like this may be the plan. Jiffy Lube does numerous auto services including oil, tires, brakes, filters, etc.
