Tuckerton will receive $4.5 million from the federal government to combat flooding and protect the shoreline, Councilman Brian Martin announced at the borough council meeting on March 18.

The announcement came 10 days after Congress passed Public Law 118-42, the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2024, which includes a proposal to construct a living shoreline on Little Egg Harbor Boulevard and to extend the jetty wall out to the 77 tide line.
