Bird and Betty’s in Beach Haven has filed for a Coastal Area Facilities Review Act permit for an expansion project approved by the land use board five years ago.

At that time, William Burris and a group of partners received approval for construction of a 3,326-square-foot second-story elevated deck that, coupled with existing decking, provided a larger area for outdoor dining. The establishment was then known as The Ketch, but in 2019 it reopened under the new ownership as Bird and Betty’s.
