FREEHOLD, NJ – The Grow Monmouth Façade Improvement Program recognized Subway of Freehold for recent upgrades today.

Arnone (right) presents Subway of Freehold owners Jillian and Keith Harrington with a Façade Improvement Program check for $1,482 for exterior lighting at their restaurant on Tuesday, March 11, 2014 in Freehold, NJ.“Subway is receiving a check for $1,482 for new lighting above their sign,” said Freeholder Thomas A. Arnone. “Every Façade Improvement Program check helps make a needed improvement to a local business. This is the sixth check presented so far.”

 

Subway of Freehold is located at 28 West Main Street in Freehold. Owners Keith and Jillian Harrington accepted the reimbursement check from Arnone.

 

The program is part of the successful Grow Monmouth initiative that is utilizing HUD Community Development Block Grant funds to help improve the look of privately held commercial buildings located in HUD eligible areas of Monmouth County. No County funds are being used for the program.

 

HUD eligible areas include all or part of 26 of the County’s municipalities. Eligible municipalities are: Aberdeen, Atlantic Highlands, Belmar, Bradley Beach, Colts Neck (Naval station only), Deal, Eatontown, Farmingdale, Freehold Borough, Freehold Township, Hazlet, Highlands, Howell, Keansburg, Keyport, Lake Como, Manalapan, Matawan, Neptune City, Neptune Twp., Ocean Twp., Red Bank, Shrewsbury Twp., Tinton Falls (naval station only), Union Beach and West Long Branch.

 

Asbury Park, Long Branch and Middletown businesses are not eligible for this program because those municipalities receive designated HUD Community Development Block Grants directly.

 

“No matching funds are required from the business,” Arnone said. “To date, $10,451 has been dispersed out of a total of $85,000 that has been set aside for this program, so businesses should apply now.”
