Report: Ocean City May Take Property From Property Owners Who Have Not Signed Easements

There are about 10 holdouts remaining, with some expected to sign easements this week.

Ocean City is ready to take property from property owners who have not signed easements that would allow work to move forward on a beach replenishment project between 34th Street and Corson's Inlet State Park, ocnjdaily.com reports.

The city must obtain easements from all those who have ownership rights to unbuildable land, Mayor Jay Gillian said in July.

That number is down to 10 from the needed 100 last summer. City Solicitor Dorothy McCrosson said at the Feb. 13 council meeting she expects more to come in.

This week, ocnjdaily reported the city is ready to claim properties from those still holding out.
