Fort Monmouth Marina Property Leased to Oceanport

Fort Monmouth's marina parcel has been subleased to Oceanport, which will hire a company to maintain and run it this summer.

The Fort Monmouth Economic Revitalization Authority approved the sublease of the marina during its meeting on Wednesday night.

Oceanport will solicit bids and select a company to operate the marina on a concession basis for the 2013 boating season. The company selected will also make repairs to marina. The marina's floating docks and boathouse were damaged by Hurricane Sandy last October.

The marina is a 3.9-acre parcel located at Oceanport and Riverside Avenues in Oceanport. The property consists of a 71-slip marina and boat launch ramp on Oceanport Creek, a 2,600-square-foot boat house, two administrative buildings and off-street parking.

Oceanport's sublease with FMERA for the marina is good for one year, but there is also a 6-month option to extend the lease
