East Side Coastal Resiliency Project Reaches Milestone

The New York City Office of Management and Budget and Department of Parks and Recreation released the Final Environmental Impact Statement for the East Side Coastal Resiliency Project, led by AKRF, and the City Planning Commission voted to approve the $1.45 billion project. The New York City Council greenlighted the proposal, which is a coastal protection initiative, jointly funded by the City of New York and the federal government, aimed at reducing flood risk due to coastal storms and sea level rise on Manhattan’s East Side from East 25th Street to Montgomery Street.
