Does anyone else wonder why the town of North Wildwood purchased

North Wildwood - Does anyone else wonder why the town of North Wildwood purchased a lot on 1st Ave. by the seawall for close to a million dollars for public use? Coincidentally our new mayor owned the lot and made the profit. Then our town allows a house to be built in front of it, blocking access to our million dollar public lot. Should our tax dollars be used for our local politician's personal gain? The council voted on this million dollar purchase during the dead of winter, when no one would notice. Some of us noticed.
