OCEAN CITY — Due to overwhelming demand, a free presentation on proposed new statewide flood elevation requirements will be moved to the Ocean City Tabernacle.
The event is scheduled for 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 30, at the Tabernacle, 550 Wesley Ave.
Because the proposed regulations potentially could affect all Ocean City residents, the public is encouraged to attend. The event had been scheduled at the Ocean City Yacht Club, and the move will help accommodate more people.
Families of Ocean City United in Success (FOCUS) is working in cooperation with Cape May County officials and their environmental consultant to sponsor the expert presentation.
The discussion points to be reviewed will include:
– Governor Murphy’s executive order
– Flood insurance rates
– Property valuations
– Changing architecture of Ocean City
The presentation will be made by Peter Lomax, president of the Lomax Consulting Group, an environmental and regulatory firm. It will be followed by a question-and-answer session.
The event is free but attendees are asked to RSVP by visiting ocnjfocus.org/events.
FOCUS is seeking donations and sponsorships to help offset the cost of the event and support the work of the community group. To learn more, visit ocnjfocus.org/sponsors.
