Waterfront residents from Tuckerton Beach were again disappointed when the Tuckerton Borough Council delayed the bond ordinance to dredge lagoons until September. Councilman Brian Martin said the N.J. Department of Community Affairs, Local Finances Board meets Sept. 9 and the borough’s application to waive the 5% down payment is on the agenda.

The borough council has said in the past it did not have the $125,000 earmarked in the budget and would not want to raise the tax rate to accrue it.
