Point Beach Council Endorses Sandy Recovery Report; Supports Jeff Bryant
Point Beach basketball star Jeff Bryant has recently been diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer, Councilman Bret Gordon said. He asked the panel to keep the celebrated high school senior in their prayers.
The Point Pleasant Beach Council Tuesday endorsed the "Strategic Recovery Planning Report," which provides communities impacted by Hurricane Sandy with a roadmap for recovery and strategies to help prepare and plan for future storms.
Mayor Vincent Barrella and members of the council, however, noted the borough’s need for an improved dune system and suggested T&M Associates, which developed the report, develop a more specific plan for the borough.
Council members and the public heard from Richard Cramer of T&M, who said the plan offers a range of recommendations for Point Pleasant Beach, including outlines for zoning and land use planning.
