Spahr, Rob. "Barnegat Township expected to bear burden of growth as Ocean County population continues to boom, officials say", The Press of Atlantic City, October 31, 2010. Accessed January 5, 2013. "When Jim Moran first moved into the Ocean Acres section of Stafford Township in 1979, his house was the only one on his street.The development was not new, but a state-mandated moratorium on construction west of the Garden State Parkway had limited the 5,500-lot community to less than 800 homes. But when the moratorium was lifted in the 1990s after a sewer system was installed in Ocean Acres, construction of most of the remaining lots caught up — and in a hurry."
