Neptune prides itself on being not only a great summer beach town, but also a vibrant year-round community. Midtown Neptune was struggling economically until 1997, when Neptune's citizens formed the Midtown Neptune Empowerment Council. The Council is making great strides in its urban renewal efforts. The Neptune Township Economic Development Corporation is working to lure medical technology firms to the city. The town center went through some difficult times, but now, Neptune's devoted citizens are working hard to put those times behind them.
