How will it benefit Wildwood and the region?
It is an asset to the Wildwoods to own this unique collection of buildings which have been virtually untouched. It is the largest collection of such in the world! This fact has made it a source of tremendous national media coverage. Its potential for even greater recognition enables the island community to capitalize on this new found national interest by pursuing opportunities like funding and more academic studies to aid the resort in reinventing itself. The region benefits by having another unique experience that it can offer to tourists. Regional tourism is in a high growth period. It is common knowledge that consumers today prefer a variety of options, a colorful palette of places to visit, and a menu of new experiences.
