Money Island News:
The NJ DEP Coastal Management Program is working through Rutgers University to gather input from working waterfront communities like ours to shape state policy through 2030. Money Island's next major projects are expected after 2030. Until then, we are focused on smaller sustainability projects. We participated in a detailed reinvestment and resources survey earlier this year and have a follow-up session scheduled today.
Money Island is recognized in regional and state planning documents as a port for reinvestment, not strategic retreat. That matters, and now we need to make sure our local voices are heard. What issues matter most to YOU? Flooding? Storm resistance? Permit barriers? Seawall, sewer, and infrastructure investment? Recreational use or support for visitors? Drop your thoughts in the comments. We want to bring your concerns to the table.
