About 60 Bristol Borough residents and business people came out Thursday to help chart the riverfront town’s future.
The Bristol Borough Business Association (BBBA) held two meetings – one in the morning at the Grundy Library and an evening session at the Snyder-Girotti Elementary School – to gather input from locals to help create a strategic plan. They were looking for advice on how to refine the business association and help foster business growth throughout the 1.9-square-mile borough.

JoAnn Perotti, who led the sessions for the business association, said the strategic plan will be a way for the borough to unite and keep up recent momentum.
“This will never happen again in our lifetime,” one attendee said.
Business owners acknowledged that they need to take advantage of the recent and continuing attention brought by the Small Business Revolution contest and streaming series that is currently being filmed around town.

Those in attendance broke off in small groups to complete a strengths, challenges, opportunities and threats analysis on the business association and town as a whole.
While the entire plan will take months to pull together, portions of it can be put in place sooner to help take advantage of the momentum and October premier of the streaming series, Perotti said.

Shea Cialella, administrative coordinator for the BBBA, told LevittownNow.com recently that the session results will be analyzed by the business association’s board.
“The worst possible thing we could do is get all of your input and not use it,” Perotti told the attendees.
