ASHTRAYS - The Freehold Center Partnership has worked with local businesses to place over 40 outdoor ashtrays throughout the district. This was proactive measure in response to the new overall no smoking rules adopted by the State of New Jersey.

SOUTH STREET SIDEWALKS - Freehold Borough applied for and received a Department of Transportation grant to continue the brick paver program in the downtown. The completion of sidewalks on South Street is a great addition to this beautification project spearheaded by the Borough's administration.

SANDWICH BOARD SIGNS - The FCP Restaurant Committee has achieved another success in completing the uniform sandwich board sign project. Working with the Borough and its Code Enforcement Department a sign prototype was approved that addressed safety and ascetic concerns while addressing the functional needs of a daily changing menu at our local restaurants.

"BUY A BRICK" at the Main Street Gazebo - Proceeds will be used to offset the cost of entertainment. Cost: $100.00. For more information contact Jayne Carr @ 732-462-3584

DOWNTOWN BUSINESS GUIDE - The reprint of the Partnership's Downtown Business guide is ready for printing. This popular information booklet for anyone looking to open a business in downtown Freehold is being generously sponsored by our local Amboy National Bank located at 68 East Main Street.

ANOTHER VIRTUAL TOUR! - The Partnership has been working with the various institutions in Englishtown, Manalapan, Freehold Township and Freehold Borough to create a historic virtual tour of "The Road to Monmouth".

An updated "Downtown Business Directory" (Will be available in 2005 at the Partnership office)

It’s been 15 years for the Partnership, . ve or so before that in building a consensus, I figure about middle age in the life of a Special Improvement District. Our turbulent youth, rebellious teens and now, complacent middle age. It’s time to shank things up, revitalize and rethink our priorities and goals. We started with an ambitious agenda of events and concerts, tackled litter and the negative perceptions of our downtown. We’ve seen the downtown change from a retail center to a restaurant mecca and services hub as of. ces spread out in all directions of the County seat. You come downtown on a Saturday evening in July on the infamous Promenade and we have succeeded. Now look for the new retail store openings, look at the American Hotel or look for the new parking deck and we are not as successful. The Partnership summit in January asked what the Partnership can and should be doing in the coming years. What role do we play in furthering Freehold Center? We asked this of the Board of Directors and others concerned enough to show up, but we need to ask the other 300 or so partners what they think, what they think, or do they even know we exist. We need to educate and inform all the partners, motivate their participation and suck their brains for creative, new ideas. We have seen our shopping competition change in 15 years, from regional malls and strip centers to suburban communities trying to build town centers. We must re-access our strengths and weaknesses, maybe reprioritize our goals and develop a partnership framework for the next 15 years. (That’s 2020)

Rob Kash, as Partnership chair, has done an excellent job of beginning to swell the ranks of the board and committees with new members. We need to share the consensus experience, share our history and let them lead the way.

• TO FOSTER THE CENTER’S ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

• TO ENCOURAGE THE CENTER’S REVITALIZATION

• TO PRESERVE THE CENTER’S HISTORIC PAST

• TO STRENGTHEN THE ECONOMIC, CULTURAL AND COMMERCIAL CONTRIBUTIONS OF THE CENTER

TO THE RESIDENTS AND PROPERTY OWNERS OF THE BOROUGH OF FREEHOLD

In pursuit of these goals, the Partnership further commits to invite all members of the public and private sectors who share these mutual goals to build a nonpartisan Partnership to create and implement an action-oriented and pragmatic work plan to realize these goals. The Partnership pledges to be a "proactive" organization seeking to address not only the concerns of the Center, but more importantly to capture the many positive opportunities for improving the Center which we know to exist.

We are Interested in YOU… The Partnership invites all residents, business

owners and property owners to join us. Please take the time to give us some information on yourself.

An Introduction and/or Reintroduction of the

Freehold Center Partnership, Inc.

Jayne L. Carr, Executive Director

My name is Jayne Carr and I would like to introduce myself as the Executive Director of the Special Improvement District that manages most of the

downtown business district in Freehold Borough. Special Improvement Districts are self-help ventures that are organized by property owners and

the local government, which are voted on by the majority and then put into legal ordinance by legislation of the State of New Jersey. Membership

is determined by location within the boundaries set by the ordinance and includes all property owners and businesses operators who fall within the

designation. Through the direction of the elected Board of Directors the subcommittees make plans and execute retention activities, work towards

security and maintenance improvements, create and fund revitalization and enhancement activities and develop various marketing strategies. All of

this activity is directed towards strengthening and sustaining the business community. From the following review of our committee accomplishments

over the past six months you will see that there are many volunteers who in addition to their financial assessment are contributing an enormous

amount of time and talent. If you would like to become more active, working on a proactive team who have consistently achieved positive goals you

can contact me at my office by calling (732) 462-3584 or drop an e-mail to: jayne@freeholdcenter.com. I look forward to working with each of you!

Spooktacular Events for 2004 were the best ever!

The all-volunteer Halloween Spooktacular committee extends sincere appreciation to the Freehold Center merchants for their support of our annual

events. In particular, the high school window painting was a tremendous success -- thanks to the talented art students and the thoughtfulness of

many Freehold Borough businesses. The hot chocolate, subs, bagels, sandwiches, pizza, soda, and etc. were very much appreciated by the students,

their teachers and the Spooktacular staff. This year saw Spooktacular events more heavily attended than ever. Our Scarecrow contest included

almost 90 homes! The Haunted Hayride ran continuously for five hours with over 1000 family members enjoying the hard work of over 100 volunteer

haunters. New in 2004 was our "learn to carve" evening that had dozens of residents learning the fine points of pumpkin carving. The next evening

our Jack-O-Lantern contest had 100s of pumpkins and many more families enjoying a balmy evening. Finally this year’s Halloween Parade had a

record number of costumed marchers thanks to good PR and a perfect day. Thank you goes out to the Freehold Center Partnership for your continued

support. The Spooktacular Committee would also like to thank the following businesses for their contributions to this years events: TJ's Lawn &

Landscaping, The Court Jester, YMCA of Western Monmouth County, Battleview Orchards, Wemrock Farms, Paul-Mark Printing and others.
