Cornerstone at Toms River Officially Opens with Ribbon Cutting Ceremony

TOMS RIVER, N.J. - Sept. 21, 2017 - Rezul -- Walters Group held a ceremonial ribbon-cutting to officially open Cornerstone at Toms River, a 55-plus income restricted housing community offering 102 LEED-certified apartment units. State and local officials participated in the event, which was held at 2121 Massachusetts Ave.

Toms River Mayor Thomas Kelaher, New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency Chief Financial Officer John Murray, and Cornerstone at Toms River residents, Walters Group employees and guests attended the celebration.

"We are really proud of this community and the fact that we can produce housing for people that need it the most," said Joe DelDuca, Walters Group partner and general counsel. "We wanted to provide a place where residents are proud to call home. And we are going to do our best to make sure that they have many healthy and happy years living here."

"This is a beautiful place, and the agency is proud to be helping a community like Toms River," said Murray of the NJHMFA. "We've done over 68 multifamily communities with Sandy money since the storm, and there have been thousands of units that we've brought back to life in areas that were devastated by the storm."

As part of the ribbon-cutting celebration, Walters Group dedicated the courtyard to the memory of Ron Goetz, a Walters Group employee who was an integral member of the Walters Group, managing all of their site work operations. Goetz' wife, Jaclyn, and two daughters, Colleen and Sherry, attended the event and accepted a plaque in his honor.
