Relationship to Local Objectives
“Make the fullest use of downtown area second floor spaces with residential and/or offices uses to prevent building deterioration while still protecting retail sales and services on the lower levels.”
“Promote the economic vitality of the downtown area by improving its physical appearance.”
“The physical appearance of the downtown area should be improved to create a pleasant, attractive shopping area. Landscaping, plantings, and architectural unity should be the themes for the future.”
“The downtown area’s proximity to Manalapan Lake and Thompson Park should be capitalized upon in order to restore the downtown area’s role as a sub-regional business center.”
