Judge Blocks Wildwood Crest’s Withdrawal From Beach Project

A judge issued a temporary restraining order, preventing Wildwood Crest from withdrawing from the $54 million beach replenishment project after North Wildwood sought legal action. The dispute arose because Wildwood Crest opposed the project, citing concerns about beach space and safety, while North Wildwood and Lower Township reaffirmed their commitment. The project, involving a 16-foot dune, faces uncertainty as Wildwood’s stance remains unclear, with their mayor expressing concerns about the project’s impact on their beaches.
