Keyport is back in action. Since Superstorm Sandy ripped through the Bayshore in 2012, Keyport Borough has been working hard to rebuild and bring business back to the Bayfront. In the year following the storm, the Keyport Bayfront Business Cooperative helped to open the doors of 19 businesses in the Borough, bringing life to the economy and unique products and services to Keyport.
In the first few months of 2014 alone, the Keyport Bayfront Business Cooperative held grand opening ceremonies at five locations, including national franchise Bath Fitter on Route 35 and Lucky 7 Unique Boutique in May.
Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno, along with Congressman Frank Pallone (D-6), Sen. Joe Kyrillos (R-LD13) and Bayshore officials and business chambers from the 10 towns which make up the Bayshore, officially opened the Gateway to the Shore on May 16.

The ceremony, which took place at the base of the Garden State Parkway exit on Route 36 at the Keyport IHOP, was the first of its kind in the Bayshore area. Sponsored by the Northern Monmouth Chamber of Commerce in conjunction with the Jersey Shore Convention and Visitors Bureau.
"This is the gateway to the Jersey Shore, it starts here," said Cliff Moore, President of the Keyport Bayfront Business Cooperative.

This year, the Jersey Shore Convention and Visitors Bureau has introduced Renee and Bernie, Canadian yarn dolls who travel the Jersey Shore, popping up in New Jersey's fabulous locations and reminding people of the jewels of the shore.
"I'm in. I'm all in," Guadagno said of the dolls as she held them during her address to the large crowd on Friday.
