As I have said in the past, the people of Sea Isle City are known for their generosity and support for worthy causes. One of those causes is the Mike’s Seafood Polar Bear Run-Walk for Autism, which is hosted by Mike and Jeannie Monichetti each winter.
I am told that this year’s Run-Walk for Autism on February 16 was the Monichetti’s most successful fundraiser to date, with thousands of walkers and runners in attendance – including Governor Phil Murphy and his wife, Tammy, who participated in the event’s 5K Run.
My heartfelt congratulations go to Mike and Jeannie for hosting their twelfth successful Run-Walk for Autism, and my sincerest thanks go to Governor Murphy and his wife for taking the time to come to Sea Isle City for this important event, which raises money for autism charities and, perhaps more importantly, raises awareness for a disorder that effects countless individuals.
During this time of year, our Administration focuses on a variety of important efforts, including municipal projects that strengthen our infrastructure and beautify our community. For example, roadwork and utility upgrades are currently happening at various locations around town, and we are making great progress with phase one of our Promenade Lighting Project, during which beautiful new light posts are being installed along our famous oceanfront pathway.
We are also about to begin work on a project that will add new light posts to several of our business districts – an endeavor that will require some sidewalks and pedestrian areas to be disturbed during installation but will ultimately add charm and ambiance to those locations.
