The funding will be distributed to projects in Ocean City, Strathmere, Sea Isle City, Avalon and Stone Harbor. This is the largest investment in New Jersey beach projects without a hurricane, according to Congressman Van Drew. Additional dredging investments across South Jersey will also include projects on the Salem River, Maurice River, Cold Spring Inlet, and the New Jersey Intracoastal Waterway. The funding is part of a process that will lead to hydraulic renourishment of Ocean City's north-end and downtown beaches. The city's mayor, Jay Gillian, stated that this will be the 11th replenishment project for the north end since the early 1990s.
