Cape May County officials are taking another step toward securing federal assistance to repair beaches and coastal protection systems damaged by September's powerful nor'easter.The Cape May County Board of Commissioners is scheduled to consider a resolution Tuesday, Oct. 13, asking Gov. Mikie Sherrill to seek assistance from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers under a federal emergency rehabilitation program. According to SouthJerseyNewsBeat.com, the request comes more than two weeks after the storm battered South Jersey's coastline, producing coastal flooding, severe beach erosion and damage to protective dunes in several Shore communities.
