Ocean City Affordable Housing Space Will Stay Green For Now: Report
Ocean City Housing Authority plans to build new affordable housing, but the area will remain green space for now, according to a report.
OCEAN CITY, NJ — The future spot of 60 affordable housing units will remain green space for now, according to a report by OCNJ Daily.
Twenty-one tiny homes from the Pecks Beach Village affordable housing complex on Fourth Street were recently demolished, according to the news site. Construction on the new houses is not expected to begin until 2023, the report said, so it will become for now an attractive green parcel of land.
Only rubble remains now of the former houses, and it will be removed in the next week or two so grass seeds can be planted, the news site said.
