MAYOR'S MESSAGE

From Mayor Leonard Desiderio...


For many of us, the end of December is a perfect time to look back and reflect on the various events that occurred during the past year – and I am happy to report that here in Sea Isle City we had a very enjoyable and productive 2022!

 

As is the case each year, 2022 began with a focus on the future, because we always strive to ensure that the improvement projects we have planned are completed in a timely and efficient manner, and we want to make certain that we are fully prepared for the year ahead (including the approaching summer season).
