Even if you never go to the beach, the rebuilding of the New Jersey shore and its boardwalk businesses is directly related to how much you will pay in taxes.
The Jersey Shore businesses community is taking a first step in a long journey in turning the public's perception that "the Jersey Shore is destroyed."
Super-storm Sandy ravaged the Jersey shore. The beach erosion was devastating. Properties were damaged or destroyed. Come this Memorial Day, Sandy will be a distant memory for many, but they could be reminded just how horrific the storm was if they can't find a place to rent at the shore this summer.
In addition to towns struggling to clean up after Superstorm Sandy, shore communities must deal with lost revenue as they work to rebuild before next summer.
