A group of residents from the west side of Mystic Island attended Little Egg Harbor’s Oct. 12 township committee meeting after receiving notice from another resident, via Facebook, that there might be a Zoom meeting regarding Phase 2 dredging on the west side.

Phase 2 dredging was voted down by a vast majority of residents in April 2022. Many were in favor of dredging until receiving, in March 2022, an estimate of $16,350 per property, more than twice the amount for residents in Phase 1.
