NYC Mayor Adams Breaks Ground on $1.5B Flood Control Project

Mayor Eric Adams Announces Start of Construction on Massive Project to Protect Lower Manhattan from Flooding

The project is part of a $53 billion plan to protect the city from the effects of climate change.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams on Friday broke ground on a $1.5 billion flood control project in lower Manhattan, part of a $53 billion plan to protect the city from the effects of climate change.

The project, called the East Side Coastal Resiliency Project, will construct a series of flood walls, levees, and other infrastructure along the East River to protect the neighborhood from flooding.

The project is expected to be completed in 2026 and will protect more than 110,000 people and 60,000 jobs from flooding.

The project is part of a larger effort by the city to protect itself from the effects of climate change.

The city has already invested $20 billion in flood control projects, and the East Side Coastal Resiliency Project is the largest of these projects to date.

The city is also working to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions, which contribute to climate change.

The city's flood control efforts are essential to protecting the city from the devastating effects of climate change.

The city is already experiencing more frequent and severe flooding, and the problem is expected to get worse in the future.

The city's flood control projects will help to protect the city from flooding and keep New Yorkers safe.
