Avalon/Stone Harbor NJ Weekly Update, Upcoming Events May 12, 2016

CAPE MAY COUNTY TOURISM generated a record $6 billion in 2015, up 4% over 2014 according to an Atlantic City Press article. Favorable weather and low gas prices helped fuel tourism last year, which marked the sixth straight year of growth. Tourism in Cape May County supports over 25,000 jobs, more than half the total in Cape May County. Statewide, tourism generated $37 billion in GDP. Most expect 2016 to be another strong year. If Mother Nature cooperates and brings us more beautiful summer weather it should be a great season!

THE WORLD SERIES OF BIRDING arrives in Cape May County on Saturday, May 14th, for 24 hours of birding. Over 100 teams from around the world will participate to identify as many species as possible. A team from The Wetlands Institute will compete in the event. If you’d like to make a pledge or donation to the Wetland’s Institute team, please click here: http://wetlandsinstitute.org/conservation/world-series-of-birding/

AFTER A $15 MILLION RENOVATION, the Golden Inn is expected to reopen in mid-June, according to a Philadelphia Business Journal report. Icona Resorts purchased the hotel at the end of last year and immediately began renovation work. Initially the resort was expected to reopen in July, but has started taking reservations for June 15th and after.

COMING SOON—TREE TO TREE ADVENTURE PARK!  Zip lines, nets, and Tarzan swings will soon challenge every age and ability at the Cape May County Zoo. The new adventure course is set to open this summer.  Stay tuned for more details!

RENTAL PROPERTIES—GET ‘EM READY!  The season is drawing near—make sure your rental property is ready for your first guests! Take some time to review all aspects of your rental property NOW to avoid problems later. Use the general checklist below as a starting point for your property:

- Spring cleaning completed

- Landscaping, pest control, and weed control service set up
- Deck furniture placed outside
- Check all appliances for correct operation
- HVAC system serviced & ready
- Gas/charcoal grill set up & ready, and propane tank filled
- Pool opened & maintenance contract established

If you need a recommendation for a contractor or other service provider, please call or email me—but don’t wait too long, as the approaching season means most are very busy.

Avalon/Stone Harbor Weekly Update, Upcoming Events May 5th, 2016

AVALON’S “BACKPASSING” project is underway, as dump trucks move beach sand from the 33rd-38th Street beaches to replenish north end beaches.  Every few moments a dump truck loaded with beach sand moves northward, passed by an empty dump truck moving southward.  Work continues seven days a week, subject to the tide cycle.  The project is expected to be completed in advance of the summer season, and is currently ahead of schedule.  In addition to enhancing protection for north end homes, the newly widened beaches will provide more room for beach goers to enjoy during the summer.
 

 A pair of dump trucks move along Avalon’s beach on a rainy day, as Avalon’s sand “backpassing” project continues.
 

THE BOROUGH OF STONE HARBOR received the Cape May County Annual Conservation Award for its efforts in restoring the gardens in the Stone Harbor Bird Sanctuary, and those around the pump house at 114th Street & Third Avenue.  Native plants requiring little water were used, and they’ll help meet the needs of species living in and around the area.

SPRINGER’S HOME MADE ice cream is among the top twenty ice cream shops in the nation!  A USA Today poll will narrow down the list to the 10 Best.  Voting runs through May 23rd at 12 noon.  Click here to see the other candidates, then cast your vote for Springers!  http://www.10best.com/awards/travel/best-ice-cream-parlor/

 COAST GUARD SHIP TOURS, demonstrations, and trolley tours of Training Center Cape May are all available this weekend as the 2016 Coast Guard Community Festival takes place, Friday, through Sunday.   Some activities require tickets, but many do not.  Click here for more details:  http://coastguardcommunity.org/festival-2/

TREAT MOM RIGHT THIS WEEKEND, with some flowers, or perhaps dinner out.  Or you can really impress  Mom by buying her (and the rest of the family) a place at the shore!  Happy Mother’s Day!
