The weather held out to make Freehold Township Day a success and the organizers of Olde Freehold Day will be hoping more the same results at the end of this week. But before the crowds descend on Lake Topanemus Park there is a lot to do in the Township and the Boro this week.

The Freehold Township Planning Board will be holding a special meeting on Monday night at 7:30. The two items on the agenda. The first is an application to convert a 5600 square foot two story building located at 3425 Route 9 North into a four tenant office building.
