The Assistant Secretary of the Navy is expected this week to sign the record of decision to finalize a proposal to allow civilians to live in housing on Naval Weapons Station Earle.
Opponents say opening 300 homes on Earle to civilians is a security risk and would overwhelm local schools.
The Neptune Township Committee recently passed a resolution supporting a proposal to let disabled and senior veterans live in the housing.
Neptune Committeeman Randy Bishop says it resolves the issue with school children and he says there's no security risk because retired veterans are cleared to be on the base.
