The fund, which Murphy said came from the American Rescue Plan, includes $20 million to finish repairing the iconic Asbury Park Boardwalk.
ASBURY PARK , N.J. -- There are plans to spruce up 19 boardwalks down the Jersey Shore this summer. On Friday, Gov. Phil Murphy and other lawmakers announced a $100 million Boardwalk Preservation Fund in Asbury Park . The fund, which Murphy said came from the American Rescue Plan , includes $20 million to finish repairing the iconic Asbury Park Boardwalk and help repair the Convention Hall and other facilities there. Money will also go toward building more restrooms on Jersey Shore boardwalks.
'The Boardwalk Preservation Fund is so much more than a $100 million investment in the infrastructure of these communities. It's an investment in more summers, more music and more memories to come,' said Murphy. 'Welcome to the Jersey Shore for the summer of '24.' Murphy praised the bipartisan legislation and said both sides agreed the Jersey Shore is a huge part of New Jersey's charm.
