APRIL 21ST BEACH SWEEPS and DUNE GRASS PLANTING. Avalon’s spring dune grass planting will take place April 21st, along with a beach sweep to help keep our beaches clean. Stone Harbor will also conduct a beach sweep that same day. Volunteers are needed for these efforts. Mark the date on your calendar and plan to help out! More details to follow as we get closer!
KEEPING TURTLES SAFE is the goal of an Avalon initiative. In conjunction with The Wetlands Institute, concrete barriers designed by Taylor Design Group will be employed near the marina and kayak storage locations. The new design will be monitored to determine its effectiveness, along with a sandy turtle nesting area nearby. The new barrier is designed to keep turtles off the road as they seek locations to lay eggs; the nesting area is designed to provide a safe location to do so.
MORE ON THE TI BRIDGE: The Townsend’s Inlet Bridge will close for a period of two to three weeks after Easter in order to allow crews time to complete repair work that is currently underway. The plan is to have all work completed by the beginning of summer.
NO PERMIT REQUIRED: Some common household repair jobs have been reclassified in the State of New Jersey and will no longer require a construction permit. Examples include siding and roof replacement, replacement of indoor plumbing fixtures, and alarm system installation. Reduced costs and time waiting for inspections are the upside, while the downside is less protection for consumers.
