NJ to let shore town make emergency dune repairs, despite ongoing legal battle
Fox News
North Wildwood, New Jersey has been granted permission by state environmental regulators to carry out emergency repairs on its severely eroded dunes.
The move marked a turning point in a long-running dispute between the city and the state over how to ensure that the beach is wide enough for recreation and to ensure that dunes are sturdy enough to protect the city from coastal storms.
North Wildwood and its surrounding coastal neighbors have not received the periodic beach replenishment projects that most of the rest of the Jersey Shore has been getting for decades, due in part to the difficulty of getting approval from property owners.
