Mayor Caitlin Donovan joined state, county and local leaders for a Flood Safety Week tour focused on flooding and resiliency challenges throughout the Shark River area.

“I don’t want any of our neighborhoods to feel forgotten. There’s one Belmar. We need to work internally, with our surrounding towns, and with the county and state to bring holistic solutions to the issues affecting our residents today.”

Flooding doesn’t stop at municipal borders, and neither can the solutions. We’re moving Belmar forward together.
