NESE Rally & Clearwater Festival

Red Bank - Residents from around the Two River area arrived to show their disapproval of the proposed NESE natural gas pipeline which would run thru Monmouth county, into the bay and connect with staten island. Protestors felt the environmental damage that would be done by the construction of the pipeline with no benefit to residents of Monmouth County was too high a risk for them to swallow. The presidents of Clean Ocean Action, The Sierra Club, and others railed against the project and even freeholder Gerry Scharfenberger, Ph.D arrived to share that the county freeholders were on the side of the protestors.
