🏖️ NJ Shore Shake-Up? Seaside Park to Vote on Taking Land from Berkeley
What happened
Where it happened
- Seaside Park, Ocean County.
A major Jersey Shore change could be on the way… Officials in Seaside Park are preparing to vote on whether to annex part of Berkeley Township — specifically South Seaside Park.
Here’s what’s going on 👇
• The move comes after a long legal battle where residents pushed to leave Berkeley
• In 2025, the New Jersey Supreme Court ruled they can break away
• Now it’s up to Seaside Park to decide if they’ll officially take them in
💭 Why residents want out:
That section of Berkeley is literally cut off — people have to drive up to 16 miles through multiple towns just to reach their own township services
🏠 The impact:
A recent report says the move could even lower taxes significantly for residents if it goes through
⚠️ Bottom line:
If approved, this would reshape local boundaries — and could change taxes, services, and identity for hundreds of Jersey Shore residents.
