Saying Farewell to the Golden Nugget | Cape May County Herald

Saying Farewell to the Golden Nugget | Cape May County Herald: "For the older member of the James family it was “just like those summers” on Hunt’s Pier all over again. That is, if you don’t count the temperatures that hit as low as 23 degrees and felt as low as 11.

The Golden Nugget, built in 1960 at the end of the former Hunt's Pier, has been out of commission since the 1990s, the Morey Organization held a public ceremony to mark the ride's end. It is slated to be taken down during a phased demolition.

'It's fantastic news for Upper Township. We've worked extremely diligently to be in a position to do this,' Mayor Richard Palombo said.

The township secured easements from dozens of property owners and is taking a few holdouts to court to seize the beachfront lots through eminent domain - all to satisfy the state DEP's demands to ensure public access to the beaches.

'I want to recognize the people in Strathmere who signed the easements and cooperated,' Palombo said. 'The DEP wasn't going to do this project unless that was in place.'

The mayor also credited Solicitor Dan Young and staff in the township Clerk's Office who prepared the reams of paperwork inv"
