Still unknown is who takes responsibility for managing web content and the BB-NJ business directory. City now paying students from SJT program $1,000 per year for web maintenance, but not for creating content. BB-NJ domain name still not owned and controlled by City Manager. City has yet to announce person that supplies info to SJT and who determines and monitors the BB-NJ business directory site The BB-NJ Business Directory features numerous non-Brigantine businesses. Most did not have to provide local mercantile identification.
