A Push for Shop South Amboy

4/6/16 Business Meeting

ShopSoAmboyLogoSOUTH AMBOY – Shop South Amboy was one of the topics for discussion  at the Business Meeting. Business Administrator Camille Tooker said that it will be on the 4/20/16 Regular Council Meeting Agenda. “Cards will be printed up and property owners and renters will be eligible to use them. Organizations may use them as fundraisers. If a person makes a purchase at a participating business, the Shop South Amboy Card can be presented and swiped. A percentage (which is determined by the merchant) is applied as a refund to your property tax (the total taken out at the end of year). If you are resident, but not a property owner, you get a check (at the end of the year).

“We’re ready to move on this,” said Tooker.

Councilman Thomas Reilly said, “It’s open to all businesses and services from restaurants to dentists. It’s another win-win.”
