MYSTIC ISLAND PHASE I – DREDGING POWERPOINT
As you may be aware, the Township of Little Egg Harbor recently completed two successful lagoon dredging projects for Osborn Island and Mystic Island East.

Subsequently, similar project plans have been proposed to dredge areas within Mystic Island West. The Township has scheduled a series of special virtual meetings (4 sessions total) to explain the details of the project for your neighborhood. Please see the links below for more information on the project and virtual meeting instructions (by session):
The Special Assessment billing for the following projects have been mailed:
