Measure Requring Bulkhead Construction On Privately Owned Land Being Taking Up By AC Council

An ordinance requiring construction of bulkheads on privately owned, vacant bayfront lots is up for introduction during Wednesday’s City Council meeting. According to the Press of Atlantic City, the measure calls for people investing in land along the bay to build bulkheads up to state standards. The report also says helsea residents have long complained that flood water flows regularly into their neighborhoods through private properties with no bulkheads or old structures that are damaged or too low.
