UPPER TOWNSHIP BORROWING MONEY FOR BEACH FILL

The Upper Township Committee met Monday night and decided to borrow some money to pay for an upcoming beach fill project.  The committee hired a special legal team to help them borrow the money needed for Upper’s share of the beach fill project, expected to cost more than $5 million.  Upper Township expects the Federal Emergency Management Agency to pay for 75 percent of the project.  Strathmere’s beachfront took a big hit during the blizzards over the past two winters.
