"This funding is vitally important for the shore and I commend the Army Corps of Engineers for responding to my funding request for these projects,” Congressman Pallone said in a release. “Beach replenishment projects make it possible for millions of people to enjoy the Jersey Shore every summer, and come hurricane season, provide a protective barrier to beachfront communities.”
Last month the Army Corps of Engineers completed a contract that replenished a portion of the beach in Monmouth Beach that went forward due to funding secured by Pallone in 2011.
