📰 News we're reading

1. Brick Zoning Board to Consider Tweaks for Route 88 Car Wash Plan (shorebeat.com) — Brick's zoning board will revisit plans for a controversial car wash at Route 88 and Kenneth Place on Sept. 16, considering new elevations, signage, and landscaping along with multiple sign variances. Laurelton Heights neighbors who previously raised traffic, noise, and property value concerns may want to attend the 7 p.m. hearing at the Brick Township Municipal Building to weigh in on the revised proposal.
   

2. Brick Introduces Ordinance Prohibiting Data Centers in All Township Zones (shorebeat.com) — Brick officials have introduced an ordinance that would effectively block data centers in every township zone by defining them as a separate use that is not currently permitted anywhere. Residents concerned about energy use, noise, or future tax revenue can speak at the public hearing before the final council vote on Oct. 13 at 7 p.m. at the municipal complex.
   

3. Cops: Brick Man Fled Police, Drove 73mph In School Zone (shorebeat.com) — Police say a 38-year-old Brick resident led officers on a high-speed chase past Brick Memorial High School, allegedly reaching 73 mph in a school zone and nearly hitting two crossing guards. He was arrested on Lanes Mill Road, faces multiple criminal and traffic charges, and police are warning Brick drivers they'll strictly enforce school-zone safety after a recent fatal crash nearby.
   

4. Gymnastics notebook for Sept. 9: The dawn of a new season (nj.com subscription) — Brick Memorial High School is again a key stage for New Jersey high school gymnastics, with junior standout Shea Wagner leading the Mustangs to a strong season-opening win and helping the program return to state prominence. The broader statewide notebook highlights top teams and gymnasts, but Brick readers will especially notice how their home gym and local co-op athlete are central to early-season action.
