Those with backgrounds in Ventnor tourism and Downbeach Real Estate shook their head in disbelief. Just in time for Labor Day 2017, bulldozers have started to push dredged sand against the southern part of Ventnor’s Boardwalk.
Downbeach Real Estate agents and those who depend on the summer tourist season have quietly gritted their teeth.
Those who buy & sell homes in Margate, Ventnor & Longport know how beach construction in mid-summer can really hurt the local economy. Real Estate execs also know how home values, rental revenue and restaurant meals can be negatively affected.
Now thru Sept 5, the Army Corp of Engineers will focus on Ventnor dune and beach building from Buffalo Ave to Fredericksburg Ave.
