As residents of Sea Isle, the only way we'll be able to preserve open space at the public school is to get the mayor on our side. Many people have mentioned that they love the idea of a bird sanctuary/natural park and detest the idea of new construction or a parking lot. The mayor has the connections to get the green space funding. If he wants open space, he can make it happen for us. If he doesn't support the idea, all of our efforts for natural space are futile.
