Sea Bright residents plan town's futureRUMSON — A post-superstorm Sandy Sea Bright should have a pharmacy and a bakery and the borough should turn a former school into a marketplace with a variety of small businesses and, potentially, artists.

Residents in the beachside borough of Sea Bright also said they want their waterfront strengthened to protect against the next storm, then it should be opened up with a riverwalk or other amenities so they can enjoy it.

The concepts were among the hundreds of ideas from Sea Brighters at a community brainstorming session Wednesday night at Holy Cross School gymnasium in Rumson. Watch the video above to see some of the session.

Sea Bright 2020, the steering committee that is helping develop the borough’s long-term recovery plan, invited residents share their visions for their hometown. Those ideas will be incorporated into those planning documents that will become the basis by which the borough rebuilds.  Those plans will be presented at another large community meeting Oct. 9.
