Local Restaurant and Retailer Support Program: 

Clearly, COVID-19 has taken a devastating toll on bars, restaurants and retailers.  This program is designed to provide one location wherein a local business can add a link to its homepage and thereby inform residents of the new commercial model they are employing. 

The Borough governing body strongly recommends that we all enthusiastically patronize and support our local businesses. Click here for a list.  If you own a business in Manasquan and would like to add your business informaton here please submit details here.
