📰 News we're reading

• Ocean County Tax Officials Visit Harvey Cedars (thesandpaper.net) — Harvey Cedars officials recently hosted Ocean County tax administrators at borough hall to press concerns over a roughly 14% county tax hike following the town’s long-overdue property revaluation. Local leaders stressed they’ve kept municipal taxes near a 2% increase while seeking assurances that county and school tax impacts will stabilize, and they highlighted strong resident engagement in understanding the revaluation process.
   

• Yard Market Vendor Huts Help Enterprises Grow (thesandpaper.net subscription) — A local beekeeper with hives spread across Harvey Cedars and Stafford Township is among dozens of small vendors testing their ideas at Manahawkin’s Yard Market this season. From raw, location-specific honey and handcrafted skin care to vintage clothing and charitable dog treats, the market offers a nearby weekend destination where Harvey Cedars residents can support regional makers and taste products rooted in the Island’s landscape.
