Why a Margate Boardwalk? Some key reasons:
- Easier, ADA compliant access to beach & surf.
- Mitigate negative affects of poorly executed dune project.
- Provide for town ‘open space’ and public gathering area.
- Potentially boost Real Estate values.
- Re-connect with Absecon Island Boardwalk system
How could a Margate Boardwalk be paid for?
- Grants & other State / Federal monies
- Long-term bonding
- Tapping new ratables
- Re-allocation of current funds
- Private donations
- ‘Sponsor a section’
