• DEP will give final approval when deed is approved
• Once approval is received, we will meet with Township Engineer with prospective plans to build 4-5 duplexes. If that fails, we will proceed with singles
As you can see, we are getting ahead of construction so that we can build one house right after another with little to no gap. We are financially able to this and are committed to do so. We are in the discussion phase with West Cape May to help the achieve their COAH requirements by end of 2025. We’ll keep you posted as discussions proceed.
