When the Greater Wildwood Tourism Improvement District Authority (GWTIDA) Board of Directors brought the proposal to Crest Savings Bank’s Board of Directors to fund the “Starlight Ballroom” project, the idea met enthusiastic response. The bank’s contribution paid for a beautiful art-deco neon sign now displayed in the Convention Center’s entranceway and it also helps to offset the ballroom’s operating costs. Crest Savings Bank’s pledge was substantial enough to fund the rebirth of the Starlight Ballroom. GWTIDA board members who held this project close to their hearts were grateful to the bank for being the first to step forward and ensure its realization.
Since its establishment in 1919, Crest Savings Bank has served many generations and witnessed much history. Jay M. Ford, Crest Savings Bank President and CEO noted “We are proud to partner with GWTIDA in bringing back this historical icon to our community. This sponsorship helps to preserve the many wonderful memories which are associated with the Starlight Ballroom.”

Sea Isle City – I would like to let everyone know that the fire chief salary also includes 4% raises in the next four years, while they offered public works and everybody else much less.
