It certainly will NOT benefit any villages businesses.
Even though most Wildwood tax revenue comes from the villages.
If they are trying to attract shoppers from the villages, I think it's a safe bet that nearly all would never walk very far from their car to get to a store. So only businesses within 1 block maximum.
If that's 25 small stores, $12mm cost divided by 25 = $480,000 per store. Such a marvelous use of taxes.
Instead of a parking ramp.... Buy various properties along 301. Demolish and put in a paved parking lot for 30 cars. Cost estimated $300k each.
For $12mm they can make 40 of those. Or 1,200 parking spots. Scattered where businesses need them.
