During the summer, the Fort Monmouth Economic Revitalization Authority tried to drum up interest among tech companies for the McAfee Complex, one of the most highly-anticipated development sites at the Fort.

This fall, Monmouth County received a $100,000 grant in conjunction with the New Jersey Institute of Technology from the New Jersey Economic Development Authority in the pilot round of the NJEDA's Innovation Challenge. Monmouth County is seeking to facilitate the growth of an emerging technology cluster at Fort Monmouth, which already houses the headquarters of three technology companies, currently employing over 1,000 people on the former Fort.
