The U.S. Department of Commerce, Economic Development Administration (EDA) is considering a request for Federal assistance from the City of Wildwood to construct the Wildwood Boardwalk Reconstruction project in Wildwood Cape, May County, New Jersey.

Pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), EDA is assessing the potential of the proposed project to affect the environment and/or historic properties.  Notice is hereby given that the project is proposed to be located in, or may affect, a floodplain and/or wetland as defined by Executive Order (EO) 11988 and/or EO 11990, and may include mechanisms to be utilized to mitigate the impacts of the EDA Project.
