Eatontown Borough Council members will write letters of support for three entities that seek state approval to open and operate an alternative treatment center in Eatontown.
...
Two weeks later, when the council met on Aug. 22, representatives of four more entities approached the governing body to ask for support for their plan to open an alternative treatment center in Eatontown.
Following several hours of discussion, the council members said they would support two of the four newest proposals. The two entities gaining support were Galenas and a second entity who is requesting to remain anonymous.
The representatives of those entities said a letter of support from a municipal governing body would be a positive endorsement on the application that will be submitted to state officials.
At the same time, members of the council denied letters of support for Highline LLC and Doctors Institute for Compassionate Care. Council members said they would only provide the formal documentation to the entities they believed were well prepared to operate such a business.
Applications to open an alternative treatment center must be reviewed and approved by state officials before further action may be taken at the municipal level.
