Contact: Daphne Yun, 7188153651

The National Park Service (NPS) is entering into an agreement with the Monmouth County Vocational School District (MCVSD) to facilitate the rehabilitation and reuse of Sandy Hook historic Buildings 23 and 56. MCVSD intends to rehabilitate the buildings to provide needed space and facilities for the Marine Academy of Science and Technology’s (MAST) campus which is located at Sandy Hook. As proposed the project will stabilize and rehabilitate historic Barracks building 23 to provide classroom and drill hall space. Mess Hall building 56 will be rehabilitated to provide for office and uniform storage space. The purpose of this pubic meeting is to provide an update on the project status and to provide an opportunity for the public to comment.

We invite everyone to attend this public Open House to learn more about proposed designs, ask questions, obtain information about the proposed use of these buildings and to provide feedback and comment to NPS on the project.

The ongoing participation of the public is very important to the NPS and for the success of this project.

Open House:
