What Would You Build in Long Valley?

Long Valley, NJ - Earlier this week, Long Valley 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 Long Valley:

• "A summer camp that would allow children from the inner city to spend some time in the country."
• "A turf field for the high school"
• "A community center and pool."
• "The restaurant on top of Schooleys Mountain"
• "A drug and alcohol treatment center"
• "The roads"
• "The boat house at Camp Washington. I would love to see ice skating and kids playing on the beach and swimming in that lake again. I'd also like to see paddle boats canoes on the lake."
• "A small but proper supermarket with all the basics and a few specialties so we wouldn't have to go to Chester or Hackettstown."
