Officials have also said they did not feel the seasonal nature of the economy lent itself to another full license on the market, arguing that its value would be less than what previous license owners have paid.

Donohue cited the potential development of a Hampton Inn and Suites at a location near Exit 10 on the Garden State Parkway. If the project moves forward, the hotel would require a liquor license, Donohue said. Notice of the proposed hotel development was also included in the mayor’s Feb. 21 State of the Township Address.
