Sea Isle City is proposing a major investment in flood protection, including $10.5 million for stormwater pumping stations over the next five years, as the Cape May County resort community continues its efforts to address chronic flooding caused by coastal storms, heavy rainfall and high tides. According to SouthJerseyNewsBeat.com, the proposed spending is part of a $38.6 million capital improvement plan covering 2027 through 2031, presented to City Council during a public workshop Tuesday, November 10. The plan places particular emphasis on roads, drainage improvements and pumping stations designed to remove floodwater from vulnerable neighborhoods more quickly.
