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:

- Rental license applied for & received
- Spring cleaning completed
- Water & outside shower turned on
- All utilities turned on
- Telephone & cable TV turned on and hooked up (plan ahead—Comcast no longer has an office in Avalon!)

- 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
- Provide enough trash/recycling cans

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.
