New Jersey beefs up its iconic Jersey Shore boardwalks with $100M in repair or rebuilding funds

Heavy equipment crews are moving sand along a stretch of badly eroded beach in North Wildwood, home to a bitter fight over how to protect its rapidly shrinking beaches.

North Wildwood can reshape three blocks worth of dunes and repair public access points so they can be safely used in time for the approaching Memorial Day holiday weekend.

A storm damaged sections of the boardwalk near the Convention Center in April 2020. But before that storm hit, city officials had said the walkway was overdue for an overhaul.
