DEP'S SHINN TAKES TIRE ROUND UP CHECK TO CAPE MAY COUNTY
As part of a $2.4 million statewide initiative to address the West Nile
virus, Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner Bob Shinn will
present a $71,060 check to Cape May County officials to help clean-up
scrap tires which serve as excellent breeding grounds for mosquitoes.
Cape May County is the third to receive a "tire roundup" grant for scrap
tire collection to help fight the West Nile virus.
A press availability will be held on Monday, March 26 at 1:30 p.m. in
the Cape May County Mosquito Commission Office, 35 North Route 47, Dias
Creek, Cape May Court House.
The funding for each county is based on the Clean Communities Formula
for road miles since abandoned tires are a form of litter. Cape May County
has 199 road miles which entitles it to 2.96% of the funding.
Participants in the conference are expected to include Cape May County
Freeholder Director Daniel Beyer and other local officials.
