Avalon and Stone Harbor NJ Weekly Update June, 21st #RealEstate

THE M/V TWIN CAPES, once the most luxurious ferry in the Cape May-Lewes Ferry fleet, was sunk last Friday to become part of an artificial reef.  The 320-foot ferry featured a restaurant, food court, and two bars, but proved expensive to operate and sat mothballed for a number of years, before being stripped of all hazardous material in preparation for the sinking.  The ship was sunk in 130 feet of water about 26 miles from shore, near the USS Radford (a destroyer) and the Tamaroa, a US Coast Guard Cutter.  The three ships are part of the Del-Jersey-Land reef, designed to provide a new habitat for marine life and a destination for offshore fishermen.



Watch as the M/V Twin Capes sinks last week at the Del-Jersey-Land reef site, about 26 miles from shore.

SHPOA PHOTO CONTEST: All Stone Harbor homeowners, guests, and visitors are invited to participate the 3rd Annual Stone Harbor Property Owners Association Photo Contest.  One photograph taken in Stone Harbor between June 14th and August 12th can be submitted to contact@stoneharborpoa.org.  For contest rules, visit https://www.stoneharborpoa.org/shpoa-photo-contest/2018-photo-contest/

CENTRALIZED DISPATCH of emergency services is now a reality in Cape May County, as the dispatch center at the county airport in Lower Township opened.  Avalon & Stone Harbor fire & EMS joined, along with Lower Township police, fire, and EMS.  As more towns join, the cost born by each will be reduced.  Avalon Mayor Martin Pagliughi, who is also the Director of the Office of Emergency Management, said centralized dispatch could help prevent confusion in the event of a major emergency.

THURSDAYS ON DUNE returns next Thursday, June 28th, at Veterans Plaza on Dune Drive at 21st Street.  Each week there will be kids’ activities from 5:30pm to 7pm and live music from 7pm to 8:30pm.  For a schedule of events and music, click here: https://visitavalonnj.com/event/thursdays-dune-6
