SEA ISLE CITY – In his weekly report to the city council Tuesday, Oct. 10, Mayor Leonard Desiderio said the city expects to get state permission to advertise for the construction of the new community center “within the next week or two.”

The $20 million construction project has been stalled as the city negotiates with the state comptroller whose permission is required, Desiderio said back in April, due to the magnitude of the building project. At the Oct. 10 council meeting, Desiderio said, “The approval process from the state comptroller has taken much longer than we anticipated.”
