How is COVID-19 changing the way residents, second homeowners and visitors plan to utilize the LBI region for remote work, schooling and recreation? That is the question of a research project that is part of the 2021 Commerce and Community Strategic Plan of the Southern Ocean County Chamber of Commerce.

The chamber has engaged Brian Tyrell of Stockton University to oversee the survey. Tyrell worked with the business community in a 2017 study.
