Lakewood Industrial Commission

By the late 1960's, the hotels and egg production businesses underpinning Lakewood's economy were in decline. Many residents worked outside the township, commuting to jobs in New York City and Metropolitan New Jersey. Lakewood's leaders faced a two-fold challenge: Shore up the township's economy and give it's citizens the chance to work close to home.

An abundance of vacant, unused land inspired the answer: An industrial park to attract business and "light" industry. Realizing this vision became the job of the Lakewood Industrial Commission, a group of citizen volunteers charged with planning, constructing and promoting Lakewood's first 500 acre park and subsequent parks.

Under the Industrial Commission's guidance, the Lakewood's industrial park has grown to 1,800 acres.

Lakewood's industrial parks are sure to have land or buildings perfect for your business. Contact the Lakewood Industrial Commission and start your search today!
