It was noted during the Capital Plan Workshop that City Council has authorized $43.9 million since July 2007, when Sea Isle’s current form of government took effect. This number included $32.5 million for General Capital and $11.4 for Water and Sewer. The most significant portion of that amount went to Beach Replenishment ($13.8 million) and the Beach-to-Bay corridor project ($11.9 million).
