I occasionally comment that it seems like historic documents at Money Island are mixed up. We know for example
, that some of the buildings are not located on the lot that they are presumed to be associated with. In other cases the building permits appear to have the wrong block and lot numbers. Yesterday a partial explanation came from the Cumberland County Department of Health:
“From time to time the townships reevaluate their mapping systems and reassign block and lot numbers to adjust to the development in their areas. We are lucky enough to have a tax map program that allows us research historic block and lot information for areas where it is available. It is not all-inclusive but it does help, especially in the bay shore areas where it appears that the township reassigned block and lot numbers 2 to 3 times since the 50’s.”
We are working with the NJDEP and the Cumberland County Department of Health to work out permitting deficiencies that haunt the water and waste utilities of Money Island. We now have a workable plan (but still lack funding), but we recently agreed to put the entire project on hold until we determine which properties the state will offer to purchase and which will be left behind under BaySave’s stewardship.
