Exit Zero Filling Station in West Cape May Hits the Market for $4.75 Million

 Exit Zero Filling Station, a popular West Cape May restaurant and retail space, has been listed for sale at $4.75 million. The sale includes the restaurant, bar, liquor license, and retail space but does not include the "Exit Zero" brand name. Also included are two private dining trailers, a commercial kitchen, a walk-in cooler, and a full bar. The property sits on a 180-by-89-foot lot, which could be subdivided, and includes 14 parking spaces. Known for its unique dining experience, the business gained recognition for its fusion menu and creative use of vintage trailers.

Public Input Needed: Wildwood Boardwalk Redevelopment Plan Under Review

Wildwood officials are considering a redevelopment plan for a large portion of the Boardwalk area. A public hearing is scheduled for March 10, 2025, to determine if the properties meet the criteria for redevelopment. If the Planning Board determines that the area qualifies for redevelopment, they will recommend the designation to the City Commission. If approved, the properties would become part of a Non-Condemnation Redevelopment Area, meaning the City would not have the authority to seize properties through eminent domain.

After Years of Construction, Edelman Fossil Park Announces Grand Opening

 The Edelman Fossil Park & Museum in Mantua will open to the public on March 29, after construction delays. The 44,000-square-foot facility, funded in part by a $25 million donation from Jean and Ric Edelman, will feature fossil digs, virtual reality experiences, and interactive exhibits. The site has yielded over 100,000 fossils, including mosasaurs, sea turtles, and prehistoric crocodiles. Visitors will also see a recreation of Dryptosaurus, the first discovered tyrannosaur. Tickets are now available for the highly anticipated grand opening.
