Federal, state, and local officials are discussing a new beach replenishment project in Cape May County following the collapse of a previous $54 million plan. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is collaborating with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection on a study to explore alternative sand sources.

A final report is expected by September 2027 after public comments. Local officials have expressed concerns over the project’s impact on existing dunes and beach access for emergency services.
