New construction data shows the recovery process is well underway in many areas. The number of demolition permits in many towns, such as Toms River, spiked dramatically in March and April, a clear indication that even the hardest-hit areas of the state are beginning the process of getting back on their feet. Where demolitions were able to take place earlier, such as Sayreville and Brick, the number of building permits being issued for new construction and alterations to homes is on the rise as families begin rebuilding following the storm.
Despite the progress in many areas, each indicator has remained virtually zero in Sea Bright and Seaside Heights, where recovery, at least in terms of residential construction, has been slower to materialize.
