Take a Tour to Get a Peek Inside Fort Monmouth
Next month redevelopers will hold the first of a planned series of tours for the public.
You may have lived within a stone's throw of Fort Monmouth your entire life, and yet never had the opportunity to peak behind the brick and barbed wire. Well, now's, your chance.
On Nov. 1 the Fort Monmouth Economic Revitalization Authority (FMERA) will host its first community bus tour of the former Army installation.
Members of the public are invited to tour the former post and hear from FMERA staff about the redevelopment effort. Due to the capacity of the buses, tours are limited to 60 members of the public, and seats will be reserved on a first come, first serve basis. The bus will leave from the visitor center on Oceanport Avenue (in the parking lot across from the main gate) in Oceanport at 10 a.m. (See the map with this story.)

"We want to run these as often as we can to keep a steady stream of folks on the fort," said FMERA executive director Bruce Steadman.
To sign up for the tour, email FMERAINFO@njeda.com. You will receive an
email from the FMERA Office confirming your attendance. FMERA expects this to be the first of several tours to be scheduled in the coming months.
