BARNEGAT - To motorists in the cars, trucks and tractor-trailers whizzing down Route 72, Marty Weber s nearby property seems like just another wooded stretch of land.
But as he walks the tract through his backyard, out through the parking lot of his landscaping business and into a parcel already cleared Weber can make out the makings of a legacy.
It s not his legacy, though: It s to keep Jeff s legacy alive, Weber said.
This is Jeff s Camp, named after Jeff Poissant, Weber s partner of 31 years who died of bladder cancer in 2016.
On Thursday, Weber signed the first paperwork that will eventually deed his 36-acre parcel to Just Believe, a Toms River nonprofit that will transform the site into a shelter for homeless veterans, especially those going through addiction or mental health struggles.
