Monmouth County Breaks Ground on
Heavy Equipment Maintenance Building

FREEHOLD, NJ – Monmouth County officials today held a groundbreaking ceremony marking the start of construction for a new Heavy Equipment Maintenance Building (HEMB) at the County’s Public Works Complex located in the Township of Freehold. 

The HEMB will provide space for efficient repair and maintenance of Monmouth County’s fleet of various vehicles, including highway vehicles, non-highway vehicles and heavy construction equipment along with municipal vehicles through the County’s Shared Services program.

“This new building will help Monmouth County Public Works staff perform the necessary labor on the County’s fleet of vehicles, which are being deployed for an increasing work load due to our Shared Services programs,” said Freeholder Director Thomas A. Arnone. “We are grateful to everyone who has assisted in the development of this project – and look forward to utilizing the building when completed.”

The building will have all of the amenities needed to maintain a fleet of heavy equipment and trucks, including two, five-ton capacity bi-directional overhead cranes, lube oil/waste storage room, tool crib, tire storage room and personnel space.

Construction of the building is anticipated to be completed in Summer of 2019.
