MAYOR'S MESSAGE

Each summer, there are things we can always count on in Sea Isle City. For example, we can count on bustling crowds during the Memorial Day and Independence Day holidays. We can count on sunny beach days, enjoyable fishing trips on the bay, and cool ocean breezes at night. We can count on our cheerful residents and many happy visitors enjoying all that our town has to offer. And, we can count on the hard working men and women of the Sea Isle City Beach Patrol, who protect our shoreline, keep us informed about surf conditions, and bring a sense of pride to our community. If you think that our lifeguards simply sit at their posts and keep beach-goers safe day after day - there are some things you should know <<READ MORE>>

PROJECT UPDATES

In accordance with our typical practice, now that the summer season is here, we try to limit the amount of construction taking place on public property, in order to minimize the disruption to our residents and visitors, as for many, this time of the year is precious.  We also are in the process of preparing and putting into place plans for the next round of capital improvements throughout the City. As these projects move forward through the design, bidding, and construction phases, we will continue to provide you with updates on their progress.

CITY WIDE FLOOD MITIGATION

Drainage Study Planned

A major priority of the Sea Isle City government is addressing the flooding which impacts our City and is most prevalent in low lying areas. Over the past several years, the City has implemented several drainage improvement projects to replace deteriorated storm drainage systems and tidal check valves; and we're coordinating with the county engineer's office on several projects, as much of our drainage system falls under county jurisdiction. <<READ MORE>>
