Lavallette Beautification Committee
The Lavallette Beautification Committee was established by Mayor Thomas Walls and the council of Lavallette in January 2004. Pat Marrone and Teresa Coleman were appointed chairpersons. The committee is comprised of a cross section of volunteers representing the Lavallette council, planning board, business association and residents of Lavallette appointed by the council.
Purpose
The Lavallette Beautification Committee is an advisory committee working in conjunction with the mayor and council to research and develop plans for updating and beautifying the Borough, while preserving the character and quaintness of our seashore town.
Goals
To update the physical appearance of the Grand Central
Avenue Streetscape by developing a plan for curbing, pavers, trees,
decorative benches, lamp posts, and trash containers that would give
our main street a turn of the century appearance recommended in the
master plan.
To target areas in the Borough that could be enhanced by planting flowers, grasses or trees. The Lavallette Beautification Committee will consult with Ocean County and State of NJ officials regarding planting projects for county and state roads.
