In addition to providing the many municipal services we all rely upon, the City’s Administration also strives to continually beautify our community by making Sea Isle City “greener” and more appealing to the eye. Case in point, one of the improvement projects we have planned for 2019 is the installation of new trees along JFK Boulevard (from the Sea Isle Bridge to Landis Avenue) and also in parts of the downtown business district along Landis Avenue.
This project, which will replace older trees that have died, will begin later this spring. The trees we selected are Trident Maples and Crepe Myrtles – both of which are salt tolerant. Trident Maples will give us beautiful autumn foliage and Crepe Myrtles produce stunning flowers that are sure to please during the summer season.
Another project that we are also looking forward to is the construction of a new Fishing Pier and Kayak Launch at Dealy Field, just steps away from our outdoor hockey rink. As I mentioned previously, the Cape May County Open Space Review Board asked the County Freeholders to fully fund this project, and we recently learned that the Freeholders have approved that request.
Therefore, with full funding now in place, we hope to begin building Sea Isle’s newest recreation facility later this fall. Please keep an eye on the “Project Updates” portion of this newsletter for information about the construction of our future Fishing Pier and Kayak Launch.
