Boardwalk Pavilions

Belmar Mayor Matt Doherty said the Borough will reach out to the community for ideas on how to fund the rebuilding of its two Boardwalk Pavilions damaged during Sandy, after voters rejected a plan to bond $7 million-dollars for the construction.

Belmar residents strike down a referendum asking them to borrow $7 million dollars to build two controversial boardwalk pavilions. According to unofficial numbers, voters rejected the ballot question 1,041 to 756 Tuesday night during a special election held at the borough hall...

Belmar gets some good news from Uncle Sam. The borough is getting a little over $4 million from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to help replace two boardwalk pavilions destroyed by Superstorm Sandy.
