This is the event for you! Asbury Park has two teams in the final ten of the Rebuild by Design contest. Rebuild by Design is a unique competition that responds to Hurricane Sandy by asking the world’s most talented design professionals to envision solutions that increase resilience across the Sandy-affected region. The winner(s) will receive HUD funds to implement their dynamic designs. That means potential big time investment in Asbury Park.

The Sasaki Team is designing a project that would protect the north end of our boardwalk with a mixture of a dune-boardwalk hybrid, protection of our coastal lakes, and control of storm and flood waters. Please come out to the Showroom in Asbury Park on Tuesday March 4th at 7 pm to find out more about this project and what you can do to make it a reality.

When: Tuesday, March 4th, 7 -9 pm
Where: The Showroom, 707 Cookman Avenue, Asbury Park
What: Your input is needed by the Sasaki Associates, Rutgers University and ARUP who will lead a discussion exploring post-Sandy ideas for imporving the natural ecology, protecting the shore, preparing for weather events, and preserving the "beach" culture.
Who: Anyone who cares about Asbury Park and the Jersey Shore
