WILDWOOD - Wildwood, long one of New Jersey's most popular beaches in part because it's free, will remain that way.
The city commissioners have rescinded a ballot question that would have asked voters whether Wildwood should start charging a beach fee, an idea opposed by businesses.
Mayor Ernie Troiano Jr. said Thursday that the city instead would start talks with Wildwood Crest and North Wildwood on the possibility of sharing services, including fire and police, lifeguarding, and beach maintenance.
"We are excited and thrilled to be collaborating with the other municipalities on this solution," Troiano said.
