Asbury Park Press Looking To Close Neptune Office

Office was considered state-of-the-art newspaper facility when it opened in 1985

The Asbury Park Press is putting its Neptune office building on the market and will begin to look for a new location, the newspaper reported Thursday.

According to the newspaper's website, "The company's manufacturing facility moved to Neptune from Asbury Park in 1980, followed by its news and business office operations in 1985."

The Route 66 office was considered state-of-the-art when the newspaper moved from its much smaller facility at Press Plaza in Asbury Park. The newspaper went beyond the warehouse look that was typical of media offices, and created a building with a glassy lobby, cafeteria, a nurse's office and a running trail.
