What Would You Build in Morris?

Morris, NJ - Earlier this week, Morris 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 Morris:

• "Widening roads for walkers, runners and bikers. Walking to town on Mt. Kemble is bit scary, as is walking home on James Street. Lots of tight spots where the only option is to walk through overgrown weeds or die."
• "Fix all of the baseball fields. They are terrible and embarrassing!"
• "A recreation center for ALL the Morris Township citizens. The seniors have been asking for one for decades, and almost all of the other Morris County towns have one. Rehabbing an existing building or creative financing could add additional money to such a project."
