CAPE MAY — This city needs families with children as residents and an ordinance passed by city council March 18 may help the situation.

Council approved an ordinance outlining the city’s regulations for developers to provide one affordable housing unit for every five residential units they construct and one unit for every 16 jobs produced by building a commercial structure.

All municipalities in the state are required to file a plan with the Council on Affordable Housing.
