Resident urges Northfield to ask Atlantic County not to sell Dolphin Avenue nursing home, citing burial concerns
Summary
David Goldstein told the council that satellite scans and local history indicate graves beneath the County's Dolphin Avenue nursing-home site and asked council to contact the County to oppose any sale; the mayor suggested raising the issue at a County Board meeting.
David Goldstein told the council he believed the Atlantic County nursing home on Dolphin Avenue was built over a burial ground and urged the City of Northfield to contact the County and ask them not to sell the property. Goldstein said satellite scans and local history indicate bodies were buried there and that he has contacted an attorney and the County.
Council members acknowledged the concern but noted the City has no direct authority over County property; Mayor Chau suggested Goldstein attend a County Board meeting and Council agreed to keep the matter in mind. No formal action by Council on the County property was recorded during the June 23 work session.
