Known For A Post Reborn

The Fort Monmouth Economic Revitalization Authority (FMERA) oversees the redevelopment. Oceanport chose the fort as the permanent home of its new municipal complex, including town hall, the community center and police department, and buildings such as Russel Hall and the former Patterson Army Hospital have new owners.
