📰 News we're reading

• Here's How Ocean City Beaches Fared During Recent Nor'easter (patch.com) — Ocean City's beaches took a moderate hit from the late-September nor'easter, with up to 210 feet of sloped beach erosion and some dune scarping near 58th Street. State coastal experts say recent beachfill helped limit the damage and much of the sand may naturally return as calmer conditions reshape the shoreline.
   

• Insider NJ's Morning Intelligence Briefing: 10/5/2026 (insidernj.com) — Ocean City gets a brief but important mention in this statewide political roundup, noting that demolition has begun on a local condo building, according to the Cape May Herald. The rest of the briefing surveys major New Jersey political stories, from AI workplace legislation and SNAP changes to local infrastructure, school, and environmental decisions across dozens of towns.
