📰 News we're reading

• VIDEO: Tempers Flare at Ventnor Master Plan Hearing (downbeachbuzz.com) — Ventnor's recent Planning Board hearing over its Master Plan got heated as residents pushed for clearer tracking of public input and tougher rules on oversized homes, parking, and landscaping. While the meeting centered on Ventnor, Longport readers are affected because the discussion targets shared Downbeach issues like mega-rentals, parking requirements, and sustainable yard rules that could influence future ordinances across nearby shore towns.
