To assist in the recovery from Superstorm Sandy, New Jersey received from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) an initial allocation of approximately $1.8 billion of Community Disaster Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) funds to be used to satisfy needs arising from the storm that are not satisfied by other funding sources. Governor Chris Christie has tasked the NJEDA to administer $460 million of these funds to support the recovery of storm-impacted businesses. Of this total, $260 million will fund the Stronger NJ Business Grant program.

The Christie Administration has received approval from the Obama Administration to move forward with the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Disaster Recovery Action Plan. This plan outlines how we will utilize the first phase of the emergency supplemental passed by Congress in January. The first $1,829,520,000 in CDBG funds provided to New Jersey by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) will focus primarily on helping homeowners, renters, businesses and communities impacted by Super Storm Sandy.

Effective Saturday April 27^th the dry sand area of the beaches in Seaside Park will be open to the public. The Ocean County Board of Health has continued its restriction on recreational bathing, swimming, and surfing until the waters are deemed safe.

We want to thank our friends and family who volunteered their time this past Saturday, April 27th to participate in Seaside Park’s Community Action Day. Volunteers were at various sites throughout the Borough. They joined Clean Ocean Action to pick up beach debris and worked with the borough’s DPW to continue dune grass planting for the 3rd consecutive weekend. Other volunteers were at the 14th Ave pier area and O St playground area to paint pavilions and benches as well as bag loose debris. Many others joined the “bench line” at the Marina to paint 80+ benches and lifeguard beach boxes. We had over 100 people register as well as students from the local high schools participating with us.

Thank you for keeping the family in Seaside Park.

We are the “Family Resort” along the Jersey Shore.
