MAYOR'S MESSAGE
|
|
On Monday, September 11, I had the honor of leading our community's annual Patriot Day Ceremony at Veterans Park, where representatives from Sea Isle City's Police, Fire and Ambulance divisions gathered with other City representatives, County officials and a patriotic crowd of spectators to honor the thousands of lives lost, the many others who were injured and the countless families who were impacted by the 2001 terrorist attacks in New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia. If you weren't able to attend Monday's ceremony in Sea Isle, I hope you could take the time to stop and remember that fateful day in American history no matter where you were. <<READ MORE >>

CITY COUNCIL'S MESSAGE
|
|
During the September 12 City Council meeting, City Business Administrator George Savastano reported that the Sea Isle Boulevard Elevation Project will resume next week - and that work will initially begin near the parkway and proceed east toward the marina and the Sea Isle Bridge. In mid-October, the contractor is expected to shift all traffic from the south-side of the causeway to the north-side, which has already been elevated, then work on the south-side can commence. All work on Sea Isle Boulevard is expected to be completed in the spring of 2019, so we will have one more summer of construction before the project is finished and the entire causeway is elevated and open to traffic. <<READ MORE>>

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>>
