In scaffolding for more than 13 months, the South Jersey beachside landmark, Lucy the Elephant, is finally coming out of its shell again!
The six-story high statue in Margate, New Jersey, was last seen Sept. 20, 2021 after architects determined it would be more cost effective to replace the metal siding than to try to restore it. Now, more than $1 million over its initial $1.4 million budget and one summer late, the National Historic Landmark will once again reign over the southern Jersey Shore as soon as next month.
The executive director of the Save Lucy Committee said the elephant will be cleared of its scaffolding by late November or early December. The pricey makeover and project delays were caused by several unforeseen setbacks, according to the executive director, Richard Helfant.
