Cape May County Officials Investigate ‘Project X’ Party Rumors

 

 Officials in Wildwood are cracking down on rumors of a pop-up party called "Project X" that has surfaced on social media. Cape May County Prosecutor Jeffrey Sutherland and Wildwood Police Chief Joseph Murphy have issued a strong warning, stating that unauthorized gatherings will not be tolerated. Authorities are investigating those promoting the event and exploring legal action to stop it. Officials point to past incidents, including a 2022 pop-up rally that resulted in two deaths, as reasons for their strict stance. Wildwood’s juvenile curfew will also be strictly enforced.

Atlantic City Beach Bar’s Pool Proposal Sparks Resident Backlash

 The Chelsea Beach Bar in Atlantic City is seeking approval to add a 1,300-square-foot pool and a food truck to its property, but residents of the nearby Ocean Club Condominiums strongly oppose the plan. They argue that the additions will increase noise and disrupt their quiet community. The Casino Reinvestment Development Authority is scheduled to review the proposal. Local officials, including Councilwoman Maria Lacca, have expressed concerns about the project’s potential impact on property values. The Casino Reinvestment Development Authority heard five hours of testimony at a recent hearing. The board will compile a report and address the expansion again at the next monthly meeting.
