AVALON – Avalon is seeking to move its Community Rating System (CRS) rating class from 5 to 4. The rating move would add to the discount borough homeowners receive on federal flood insurance, bringing the discount from the current 25 percent to 30 percent. At the Nov. 8 meeting of Borough Council, the borough entered a program to have Stockton University’s Coastal Research Center aid in the development of a Storm Water Management Plan. That is a component of a Watershed Management Plan which is a requirement for Class 4 status, according to Dr. Stewart Farrell, Coastal Research Center’s director.
Avalon entered the Community Rating System in 1996 and was the first municipality in the county to achieve a Class 5 status.
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?
