What is FMERPA?
FMERPA stands for Fort Monmouth Economic Revitalization Planning Authority. FMERPA is a group of elected officials and citizens designated by the State of New Jersey and recognized by the Secretary of Defense that will develop a reuse plan for Fort Monmouth when it closes in 2011. In the fall of 2005, Fort Monmouth was officially designated as one of the bases that would be closed and moved to another location. As operations at Fort Monmouth are transferred to Aberdeen, Maryland the Base will be redeveloped for government, public or private use to be determined by FMERPA in conjunction with the community. FMERPA will have a Master Reuse Plan submitted to the Army and to the Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for approval by September 2008.
