The Stafford Township Council took another step toward relocating and building a new Stafford branch of the Ocean County Library system during its meeting on June 23, appropriating $6 million toward its construction.

With no comment from the public or further discussion from council members, Mayor Greg Myhre, Robert Henken, Thomas Steadman, Anthony Guariglia and Paul Krier each voted in favor of appropriating $5.7 million of the $6 million commitment to finance part of the project costs.

“I believe this is a big win for Stafford Township,” Myhre said during a phone interview June 29.
