BEACH PROJECT: Strong winds over the weekend delayed the placement of the dredge “Texas” near Hereford Inlet due to safety concerns. The dredge was expected to move into position and begin pumping sand on Tuesday, February 14th. Once underway, the beach replenishment project will run 24/7, unless weather or mechanical problems cause delays. The Stone Harbor portion of the beach project will occur first, followed by the Avalon portion.

SHORE RENTERS: RESERVE EARLY. That’s the advice offered by a Philadelphia Inquirer article that appeared in the Sunday, February 12th edition of the paper. A limited supply of properties—and only so many weeks of summer—means it’s important to get an early start on your search for a property. To read the article, click here: http://www.philly.com/philly/news/new_jersey/WHAT-RENTERS-AT-THE-NJ-SHORE-WANT-NEW-MATTRESSES-STEMLESS-WINE-GLASSES-AND-ROOMS-WITH-A-VIEW-.html Call or email me, so I can help you find the perfect place. It’s time to get started!
STONE HARBOR GAS MAIN REPLACEMENT is underway. Aging steel pipes are being replaced with new plastic pipes in two phases, the first of which will run until June. The second phase will begin in September and run into 2018. Look for most work to take place on weekdays, with some Saturday work possible. As the mains are replaced, gas service to individual homes will need to be shut off, and cannot be turned back on until a property owner is present to allow a worker inside to test the new connections. Property owners will be contacted via a mailing to their billing address as well as a “door knocker” hung on their door knob. Owners with questions can contact South Jersey Gas at (609) 465-2900, extension 6250, and reference the “Stone Harbor Project.”
“HABITAT RESTORE” is coming to Cape May Court House. Habitat for Humanity will open its new ReStore location in May after a renovation project. Located in the former SuperFresh space on Court House-South Dennis Road, Habitat ReStore will sell new and gently used furniture, appliances, and more to the public at a fraction of retail prices. Goods are donated by individuals, distributors, and manufacturers, and sale proceeds from ReStores are used in local communities and around the world. Help is needed in renovating the new location. Volunteers of all skill levels are needed—if you can swing a hammer or a paintbrush, you’re qualified!
