The storm that pounded the region through Sunday and continued churning surf on Monday ate almost a third of North Wildwood's stockpile — a possible loss of more than $1 million.
North Wildwood was ready for Memorial Day weekend: It had stockpiled millions of tons of sand at a cost of $4 million to replenish its beaches in time for vacationers, said Mayor Patrick Rosenello.The storm that pounded the region through Sunday and continued churning surf on Monday ate almost a third of that stockpile — a possible loss of more than $1 million, according to Rosenello.
Marty Pagliughi, the mayor of Avalon and emergency management coordinator for Cape May County, said his office was still assessing the impact of the storm and won’t have a full grasp until Thursday or Friday. Overall, however, he was not getting reports of “catastrophic damage” along the coast. “Due to the replenishment from last year,” Evans said, “we do have some sand in reserve. But it’s still a serious issue we have with storms in the north end of town.”
Rosenello said his community was tackling its own beach replenishment, as it has for years, because it is not scheduled for such a project funded by the state or U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
