Undisclosed Federal Agency Could Bring Jobs to Fort Property

Redevelopers may vote to approve initial stages of lease process which could generate local jobs.

It's still a bit of a mystery but apparently an unnamed federal agency may be setting its sights on vacant space at Fort Monmouth. 

If all goes as planned, this week redevelopers will kick off a lease process with the US General Services Administration (GSA) to locate a federal agency at building 2525, a 86,000 square-foot office building located in the Tinton Falls section of Fort Monmouth. GSA is responsible for meeting the space requirements of federal agencies.

Bruce Steadman, executive director of t (FMERA), would not give any information about what federal agency would eventually locate at the site since it is part of confidential real estate negotiations. He did say, however, that the lease could generate "quite a few jobs."
