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.

Warehouse
Central and northern New Jersey saw record growth in warehouse leasing in the first three months of 2021, while South Jersey became a hot spot for construction of distribution centers, according to a recent survey that provides statistical support to many anecdotal reports that the state is experiencing a wave of warehouse “sprawl.”
The survey by Newmark, a commercial real estate advisory firm, found the aggregate area of leased warehouse space in the northern and central parts of the state grew by 11.1 million square feet in the first quarter, the highest quarterly total for at least 20 years.
The natural gas storage report from the EIA for the week ending April 23rd indicated that the amount of natural gas held in underground storage in the US rose by 15 billion cubic feet to 1,898 billion cubic feet by the end of the week, which left our gas supplies 302 billion cubic feet, or 13.7% below the 2,200 billion cubic feet that were in storage on April 23rd of last year, and 40 billion cubic feet, or 2.1% below the five-year average of 1,938 billion cubic feet of natural gas that have been in storage as of the 23rd of April in recent years..the 15 billion cubic feet that were added to US natural gas storage this week was more than the average forecast of a 9 billion cubic foot addition from an S&P Global Platts survey of analysts, but measured well below the average addition of 67 billion cubic feet of natural gas that have typically been injected into natural gas storage during the same week over the past 5 years, as well as well below the 66 billion cubic feet added to natur
