Help support these small businesses in Monmouth County, NJ

One of the strongest counties when it comes to support for our radio station and small business communities is Monmouth.

Monmouth County is similar to Ocean County in that according to my own assessment the county is split between the Shore region and Central Jersey.

I spend a lot of time on the air talking about our favorite restaurants around the Garden State and certainly have spent a lot of time on the ground in towns across Monmouth County.

I asked a different question the other day and was flooded with listener responses about retail and service companies throughout the county.

Don't forget that when you shop local you are helping support the economic cycle in the community that supports jobs, tax revenue, and great products and services. Half of everyone employed in the Garden State works for a small business.

It's clear the bureaucrats and politicos in Trenton won't be offering any small business help anytime soon, so it's up to us to stand up for local.
