Not for John Fernicola.
Fernicola is the motel owner from Point Pleasant Beach who’s been in the news lately because the borough wants to take his property through eminent domain and turn the site into a parking lot.
The motel has sparked numerous calls to the police. Members of the Borough Council are arguing that acquiring the site through eminent domain would rid the town of a perennial trouble spot.
Eatontown officials designate borough as stigma-free community
EATONTOWN – Members of the Borough Council have passed a resolution which designates Eatontown as a stigma-free community.
According to the resolution, a stigma-free community seeks to inspire public interest and to open dialogue about stigma, raise awareness of the disease of mental illness and substance use disorders, and create a culture where residents who have mental illness and/or substance use disorders feel supported by their community and feel free to seek treatment without fear of stigma.
The Borough Council’s resolution states that establishing stigma-free communities will raise awareness of resources, have inclusive language and encourage residents to engage in care so recovery can begin and tragedies are avoided.
