Long Branch City Hall To Add A Veteran's Parking Spot

LONG BRANCH, NJ — The City of Long Branch will unveil a special parking spot for veterans at City Hall. The unveiling will be part of the City's Veterans Day observance services Monday.

The services will take place at 10 a.m. in Jerry Morgan Park (Liberty Street) and will continue at 11 a.m. at City Hall (344 Broadway). VFW Post 2140 (Willow Avenue) will have an open house starting at 12:30 p.m.
