New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie pledged $15 million in state aid Saturday for businesses damaged by a massive boardwalk fire in a shore community just getting back on its feet after Superstorm Sandy.
Seaside Park and Heights business owners and residents impacted by Thursday's devastating boardwalk fire, less than a year after Hurricane Sandy, will be able to meet with crisis counselors this week.
Less than 11 months since they were last hit, residents and business owners in the Seaside area are expressing hope that they will, once again, rebuild.
The fire on the boardwalk in Seaside Park and Seaside Heights is nearly under control as most mutual aid has left and an investigation begins into the cause of the fire.
