📰 News we're reading

• Monmouth Executive Airport to close runways for month-long repaving (app.com) — If you fly in or out of Monmouth Executive Airport near West Belmar, both runways will be closed for repaving from Sept. 14 through Oct. 15, though helicopters and hangar access continue. The project aims to upgrade Monmouth Jet Center’s runways after years of debate over county control, so plan alternate fixed‑wing travel during that month.
