Rehoboth January 1992 Storm

REHOBOTH WINTER STORM

JANUARY 4 1992

Greg Ferrese, Rehoboth Beach city manager reports that the damage by the January 4 storm to the boardwalk mostly repaired by Easter and done by Mothers Day weekend.

The boardwalk is 'Rehoboths' bread and butter and it is vital that it is

repaired. It tune, the battered boardwalk has been a curiosity this winter as

many tourist have come to take a look.

Dean Phillips, manager of Betheny Beach has repeated this. There have been crowds downtown where usually a sea gull might be seen, at times.

The Rehoboth damage amounted to over $800,000, of which 75%

will be paid by Federal money. Parking meter's will be raised to 75 cent an

hour next summer to help with the cost Rehoboth has to pay.

Betheny Beach damage was at $231,000, and will receive 75%

Federal money and does not think it will need to raise any taxes.
