Vacant “We remain hopeful and are determined!” said Atlantic Highlands Harbor Commission Chairman Thomas Wall when no RFPS were submitted in the second round of seeking new uses for the former Shore Casino. Wall noted the Commission will continue to aggressively seek tenants for one of the largest leasehold holding properties at the Harbor.
The Chairman announced at Borough Hall at noon Tuesday, February 17, the advertised deadline, there had been no response to the second request for proposals for use of the former Shore Casino, the restaurant and catering facility which had been at the Harbor for more than 50 years.
Last December, the Harbor had rejected the single RFP that had been submitted at the first request for proposals. That proposal was presented as a joint proposal between the Atlantic Highlands Yacht Club and Sea Streak and rejected, Wall had said, for a number of reasons.
The Commission then authorized a second request for proposals which were returnable February 17 at noon.
At a meeting at Borough Hall at noon, Wall deferred to Commissioner Vice Chairman Michael Curry who has been handling the RFPs. Curry noted that none had been received, therefore no action was necessary.
Wall said that now that the Commission has advertised for requests for proposals twice, the Commission is now in a position to accept any proposals from anywhere and act on them. Should any proposals that come to the harbor be considered and approved by the Commission, their recommendation would then go to the Mayor and Council who would need to give their approval for any use to take place.
Wall said the current use of the building is for restaurant and catering. While other uses would also be considered, he noted any other use would require approval by the Planning Board before it could be accepted.
Curry said the matter would be taken up at an executive meeting of the Harbor Commission on Tuesday, March 3, prior to the Commission’s regular meeting immediately following.
In the absence of no positive action being taken after two public advertised requests, required by law, it is not inconceivable that a number of proposals would now be received by the Commission, including another proposal from Sea Streak and the Yacht Club.
