What Would You Build in Brick?

Brick, NJ - Earlier this week, Brick Patch asked our Facebook readers what they would build or fix in town if they were given $1 million.

Readers from across the area responded with answers varying from new playgrounds, renovated high schools and improved hospitals.

Also early this week, U.S. News and World Report released its list of the Top 10 Children’s Hospitals Across the Country. The hospitals were ranked in terms of “clinical outcomes,” “efficient coordination of care,” and “care-related resources.”

The publication periodically releases lists regarding the best schools in the country as well as most livable cities. Many of the things that make a town or city ‘livable’ are resources and public spaces i.e. good schools, roads, parks, libraries, etc. Not surprisingly, these were many of the things readers said they would build or fix in their town if granted $1 million to do so.

Here’s what your neighbors said they would build in Brick:

• "Sidewalks everywhere! Making it much more pedestrian friendly. And that would probably take my whole million."
• "Fix up the soccer fields."
• "Knock down some vacant buildings- long overdue."
• "A work force program, to help find jobs real jobs for people coming off drugs or out of jail."
• " I would build a wild life sanctuary so everybody can enjoy it."
• "Cleanup Godfrey Swamp, even the wildlife are leaving!"
• "Community pool."
• "Repair and update BTHS!"
• " The potholes on Rt. 70 and on Hooper Avenue, and finish the addition to the GSP on Exit 91!"
