A state agency approved three projects on Tuesday to give Atlantic city dwellers more food options. Ideal Institute of Technology's plans to transform a four-story parking garage into a community services center with a food market, an indoor aquaponic farming facility, and other uses at 7 South Carolina Ave. received land use clearance from the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority. The group used a $4 million Local Property Acquisition grant from the New Jersey Economic Development Authority to purchase the 20,000-square-foot garage in June of last year. The Ideal Community Co-op "aligns with larger initiatives to enhance the local economy and eradicate food deserts."
Ocean City Public Safety Building
Ocean City's public safety building is still standing over a century after it was first constructed as a schoolhouse in the late 1800s. The police station at 835 Central Ave. will be demolished and replaced with a new public safety structure in the spring, according to proposals announced by the City Council in November. However, city authorities now claim that they have decided to delay demolition until after Labor Day due to safety concerns and the possibility of interruptions during the busy summer tourism season.
Nature Reserve In Egg Harbor
In honor of two previous township leaders, construction on a new pavilion at the municipal Nature Reserve In Egg Harbor started on Tuesday. Adjacent to the Nature Reserve parking lot is the Carman Memorial Pavilion. New landscaping, a pavilion, a stone memorial, and a concrete pathway are all part of the project. The township claims that donations from nearby contractors and other sources are financing the project.
