1. Disabled Tractor-Trailer Disrupting Traffic In Brick (patch.com) — Drivers in Brick are being urged to steer clear of Brick Boulevard near Cedar Bridge Avenue after a disabled tractor-trailer blocked northbound lanes and caused heavy congestion Friday afternoon. Local police are warning of significant delays in the area while the situation is being cleared, so Brick motorists may want to seek alternate routes.
   

2. Storefront revitalization program extended (starnewsgroup.com) — Brick Township has extended its storefront revitalization program for another year, waiving township permit fees for small businesses that renovate long-vacant commercial spaces. Since launching in 2015, the program has helped about 40 businesses open, though some residents still question its effectiveness as vacancies persist after COVID. Local entrepreneurs eyeing spaces under 5,000 square feet could benefit immediately.
