Beach Theatre Neighbors Get Demolition Letter

 

By Jack Fichter

CAPE MAY– Businesses located near the Beach Theatre received letters from the building’s owners, Frank Investments, Tue., Sept 6 informing them demolition of the theater would begin within 14 to 30 days from the date of the letter.
Beach Theatre Foundation Treasurer Bernie Haas read a letter to City Council Tuesday sent to a neighboring motel from Frank Investments.
He said the letter advises business owners to get a pre-inspection of their property and lists the contractors hired to demolish the auditorium portion of the building.
“I’m here to defend the historic Beach Theatre once again,” said Haas. “We will fight this fight until it is over.”
He noted the foundation appealed a decision by Judge Armstrong saying the Beach Theatre Foundation had no standing.
“Because it is on appeal, do the Frank Investment people still get the opportunity to get a demolition permit?” asked Haas.
Mayor Edward J. Mahaney Jr. deferred to City Solicitor Tony Monzo.
“My only comment is I think you should talk to your attorney about that,” answered Monzo.
He said it was not appropriate to discuss the matter before City Council.
The mayor said the matter was before the Appellate Court and council would not discuss it publically.
