Plans to rebuild a condemned pier at a Coast Guard training center in southern New Jersey will now be expedited after a federal lawmaker helped secure $11 million in funding for the project. The damaged pier at the training center in Cape May supports three 87-foot patrol boats,
which perform numerous safety and security duties along the mid-Atlantic coast. The boats have been temporarily relocated to another undisclosed site, but officials didn’t expect to start rebuilding the pier until 2017. http://bit.ly/umUD9i
