It's Make or Break Time for Beach Theatre
Beach Theatre | 1 year 1 week ago | Comments 0
CAPE MAY — “We are at a crossroads,” Steve Jackson, president of the Beach Theatre Foundation, told a crowd gathered in the ballroom of Congress Hall Aug. 26.
The foundation is waiting to receive a $100,000 loan from the city for a one-year lease of the theater with an option to purchase the entire complex. The loan is expected to be finalized at city council’s Sept. 4 meeting at 1 p.m. and the foundation hopes to receive a check that week.
“This loan really makes or breaks us,” said Jackson.

Obviously you dont know the history of Cape May. It was not "founded" as a national historic town. Go back to PA or wherever and leave the localism to the locals.

If you know the history of Cape May and are truly concerned with the preservation of it's building and not monetary gains for your friends in town or business associates then it's time to speak up at the HPC meetings and watch them carefully. They do not seem too concerned about integrity or truthfulness or educational background or training. Apparently, anyone can be appointed to the HPC Board. The "removal " of Pip Campbell, the most qualified member of the Board, show just how threatened Skip feels. She stood up for CM preservation and she knows her stuff. How many more houses will be demolished, renovated beyond recognition or lost before someone speaks out? Why isn't the HPC being questioned for it's decisions by City Council? CM was founded as a National Historic town and lets face it, it's one thing we get to say makes us unique. Let's not let the HPC lose sight of its mission.
