In This Week’s Edition
By: Stephanie A. Faughnan BARNEGAT – Township officials announced last week they are doing everything they can to get residents into their newly purchased homes at Escapes Ocean Breeze. “I’ve sent a couple of letters to the attorney for Paramount,” shared Barnegat Township Attorney Christopher Dasti. “We have spent a great deal of time and work laying out a roadmap for the developer to get TCOs (temporary certificates of occupancy) on the current homes under construction or built.” More than half a dozen prospective township residents have expressed their frustration with Paramount Homes, the project’s developer.
