**************************
Asbury Park is experiencing a wealth of development and international attention following a decade-long revitalization after several decades of disinvestment and decline. This beachfront destination flourished from the late nineteenth century through the 1940’s and witnessed significant population decline following the completion of the Garden State Parkway and civil unrest in 1970. The City was planned by James Bradley as a seaside escape from New York City in 1871. Bradley designed a progressive town with a boardwalk, electrical system, trolley network, tree-lined streets and a viable oceanfront and business district.

Recently, the 1.25-mile boardwalk, waterfront area and central business district have experienced rapid redevelopment. In 2016, over one million people visited the Asbury Park beach, and the City opened its first new hotel in 50 years. 2017 has seen a number of important development projects commence. Asbury Park’s meteoric rebirth has been fueled by a growing number of music, arts, entertainment, dining and nightlife and community partnerships between developers, non-profit and community organizations, and residents.
