In October we reported that houses would be built on that property next to the Arts Center. Internet photo.
From OGJaimie:
“Just thought you’d be interested that dump next to the old high school, which used to contain lumps of soil and sand is now a construction lot for the Gannons and whatever other construction job is occurring in the immediate area, which currently involves something that involves digging up the street.
“Every day the number of vehicles, equipment, containers seems to increase. Pretty certain this is not an approved use.
“A worker/supervisor doing work on the roads (I assume on public utilities) told me that Herb Herbst, of the Jersey Shore Arts Center, said they could use the lot, but Herb no longer owns the land; the Gannon’s own it.”
Editor’s Note: OGJaimie is a resident over there and he has a history of commenting about this subject. Blogfinger has no information at this time about the current status of that property.
Here is a link to our October, 2016 post about that property. There is a discussion there which deals with lot sizes and subdivisions, a topic that we are currently involved with regarding the Whitfield property on Surf Avenue.

BILLIE HOLIDAY: “Can’t Get Started.”
You might recall when the Gannon Co.left a portable toilet on the lot at the corner of Heck and Beach, despite the protestation of the person who lives across the street.
Here is a link to that post—a 2014 letter from the neighbor to Blogfinger.

Dumping debris by the Gannon Construction Company on Ocean Grove land is obnoxious and offensive for the neighbors. Just imagine if they were the contractors for the North End Re-development.
This land is not approved for a construction dumping site. I think the Gannons have given the OK to the Township to use for some OG road projects, but not necessarily to be used as a dumping ground for the Township and Gannon projects.
This is a Township question and should be overseen by the Township Code Enforcement Department. This dumping area is completely at the expense of the neighborhood.
