Hotel Application Continues Monday in Howell

When the Howell Zoning Board of Adjustment meets on Monday night it could be the final hearing in the application to build a hotel on Route 9.

The application has been heard nine times before including a meeting last week and could come up for a vote when the board meets at the new Municipal Building tonight. Depending on how the board proceeds with the application there are also two other applicants hoping to be heard at the meeting. A company called TIPMICH owned by Christopher Pozo is looking to convert a multi-family building located at 1060 Route 33 into a commercial office and warehouse. The application was first heard last month and was adjourned for further hearings.

Monday’s board meeting is part of a quiet week at the Route 9 building with offices being closed on Thursday and Friday for the Thanksgiving holiday.

It looks to be a busy week for Woody’s Roadside Tavern in Farmingdale. On Wednesday night the restaurant will be open until 3 a.m. including a live music performance. On Friday night participants in the annual Turkey Derby at the Wall Speedway will be stopping by for an autograph signing.

Drivers scheduled to participate include Howell’s own Jimmy “Showtime” Blewett who has won the annual race 13 times as well as Kevin “Bono Manion, Ryan Preece and Tommy Baldwin.

The Howell Public Schools will have early dismissal days on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday before being closed on Thursday and Friday. The Freehold Regional High School District will have early dismissal on Wednesday and closed for the rest of the week.
