Brick Seeks Input On Mainland Storm Plans

BRICK, NJ -- Brick Township residents are invited to a public meeting Wednesday evening on the township's plans for recovery and mitigation and preparation for future storms in its mainland neighborhoods.

Drafts of plans for three neighborhoods severely affected by Superstorm Sandy -- Shore Acres, Cherry Quay-Bay Harbor and Midstreams-Princeton Avenue -- will be presented at the meeting, which begins at 6 p.m. in the township council chambers at the Municipal Building.

The preparation and mitigation projects can help the township's ranking in the Community Rating System, which helps to lower flood insurance costs in the community.

The draft neighborhood plans were funded by planning grants for Sandy recovery assistance being provided by the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs.

Input and comments will be accepted an encouraged throughout the planning process, officials said. More information is available from the township's Planning Department.
