The lagoons on the east side of Radio Road in the Mystic Island section of Little Egg Harbor will be dredged this year, according to Township Committeeman Ray Gormley. During the May 9 municipal meeting, the committee passed a bond ordinance for $4.5 million.

The bonding will make dredging Rose Cove and parts of 12 lagoons possible but will be reimbursed by a tax assessment on the waterfront homeowners. According to township attorney Jean Cipriani, the bonding is for a maximum $4.5 million.
