The City of Asbury Park is seeking proposals for a new mural to be installed at the entrance to Council Chambers. Artists interested in submitting a proposal can find the full RFP at www.asburyparknotices.com. The deadline to apply is May 28.

The City of Asbury Park is interested in obtaining your feedback regarding trees that are on public property. The community feedback will be used to understand how the citizens view the city's tree canopy and their priorities regarding the maintenance and expansion of the tree canopy. This information will be used in the development of a Community Forestry Management Plan (CFMP). The CFMP is a 5-year, state-approved document guiding the management of public trees by municipalities. Your input is valued and appreciated.
