Brigantine Supports Affordable Housing for Veterans as Council Backs State Application
- Meeting Overview:
The Brigantine City Council approved a resolution supporting an application to the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs for a municipality-sponsored affordable housing project aimed at assisting low-income veterans. This resolution is part of the city’s compliance with the Mount Laurel doctrine, a legal mandate requiring municipalities to provide affordable housing. The progress with the Department of Community Affairs is seen as a positive indication that the project is moving forward.
In addition to the affordable housing initiative, the council passed several other resolutions, including the authorization to purchase vehicles for various departments through Enterprise Fleet Management and the Sourcewell cooperative. This acquisition, amounting to $119,625, is part of the city’s efforts to maintain and enhance municipal services.
Another resolution authorized a contract with Hydro Designs Incorporated for the construction management of phase one of a golf course irrigation system, not to exceed $26,000. This project aims to improve the city’s recreational facilities.
The council also supported a proposed constitutional amendment to increase the property tax deduction for all honorably discharged veterans.
During the meeting, updates were provided on local infrastructure projects, such as the extension of South Jersey Gas work on the Fourth Ward, which will continue for another six weeks beyond the initially planned timeline.
