The Long Branch City Council meeting on December 23, 2024, focused on significant developments regarding city property and community initiatives.

Council President Viera opened the meeting by referencing a previous session on December 11, where a motion to move a consent agenda was successfully approved. This agenda included Resolution 284, which was a key item of discussion.

A notable highlight was the announcement of the city’s acquisition of the building at 46 Atlantic Avenue, previously owned by the Oliver Byron Fire Company. The city purchased the property for $650,000 with plans to transform it into a museum. This initiative aims to enhance local cultural offerings and preserve the city's history.

The meeting underscored the council's commitment to community development and historical preservation, setting a positive tone for future projects. Further discussions on upcoming initiatives and community engagement are expected in the new year.
