AC COUNCIL DOES SUPPORT MOVE TO REDUCE DUNE HEIGHT

A unanimous vote supported the lowering of the dune height near Atlantic City's boardwalk. A local group has supported this plan as a way to make it easier to see the ocean. The Department of Environmental Protection has said they would not support such a move, because of the safety concerns a storm brings to beach communities. Without the state agency's approval, no plan can move forward to reduce the dune height.
