OCEAN CITY, NJ — The future spot of 60 affordable housing units will remain green space for now, according to a report by OCNJ Daily. Twenty-one tiny homes from the Pecks Beach Village affordable housing complex on Fourth Street were recently demolished, according to the news site. Construction on the new houses is not expected to begin until 2023, the report said, so it will become for now an attractive green parcel of land. Only rubble remains now of the former houses, and it will be removed in the next week or two so grass seeds can be planted, the news site said. When the construction on the new houses begins, it is estimated to cost $22 million to $23 million and take 15 to 18 months to complete, the report said. Pecks Beach Village has another 40 units of family-style housing that will be demolished once the new housing is built, according to the report. Read the full report at OCNJ Daily.
