Bradley Beach council: concession will open soon; promenade construction and signage set to start July 6
Summary
Council members said final work on the former pump-station concession is nearly complete but it will miss the Fourth of July; officials set a discounted $5,000 opening fee for a five-year contract and said promenade signage and construction will begin July 6.
Councilmembers said final plumbing and electrical work remain on the concession building at the former sewer pump station, and that it should open "within a week or two" after the Fourth of July weekend.
Officials said the council has discounted the concession fee substantially for the first year to support the new operator; the meeting transcript records a seasonal fee figure of $5,000 and that the concession contract runs five years. Councilwoman Greenblad asked about timing; officials said they are finishing final plumbing and greasetrap work and expected completion after July 4.
On the promenade extension, officials said 10 signs will be delivered and posted in phases once temporary fencing is installed. They expect construction to begin July 6, and the signs will include QR codes that link to project updates on the borough website.
The council encouraged the concession operator and said the council would consider additional fee discounts to make the first summer workable for the vendor. No formal vote on the concession or signage was recorded during the meeting; the statements were delivered as informational updates during general council remarks.
