CAPE MAY – Cape May City Council approved a cost share agreement, Dec. 6, by which the city will pay $43,868 a $1.7 million ecosystem restoration project.
A second aspect of the agreement is the fifth beach renourishment project by the Army Corps with a total cost of $1.3 million and a city share of $64,719. The cumulative expense to the city for both projects is $108,588 out of a total cost of just over $3 million. City Solicitor Christopher Gillen-Schwartz said most other municipalities do not have so favorable an arrangement.
The Army Corps of Engineers covers the largest share of the costs, leaving a non-federal share for the state and the municipality at 14% of the total. The city’s share of both projects is only 4%.
The city initially entered into a cooperation agreement with the state and the Army Corps for the Lower Cape May Meadows-Cape May Point project in 2003.
Cape May – Governor Murphy says he doesn't know anything about the drones and doesn't know what they are doing but he does know that they are not dangerous. Does anyone feel better now?
