REPORT: TOWNS TO REBUILD BOARDWALKS BEFORE SUMMER

Many New Jersey seashore communities say their boardwalks will rise again in advance of the next summer tourism season.  The Star Ledger reported over the weekend that Belmar has issued a $6 million bond to rebuild its boardwalk that was wiped out from Hurricane Sandy.  Belmar lost its entire boardwalk and all of the stores and shops.  A $12 million boardwalk project is also scheduled to get underway in Seaside Heights, where all but one block of boardwalk was destroyed.
