New York -- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), New York District, will host two virtual public information sessions to provide an update on the New York-New Jersey Harbor and Tributaries Coastal Storm Risk Management Feasibility Study. These sessions precede the public release of the Draft Integrated Interim Response Feasibility Report and Environmental Assessment (Draft Report), which identifies proposed Actionable Elements—localized, near-term measures to reduce coastal storm risk in the region.
The Draft Report will be released for public review on July 24, 2025, with a public comment period open through August 25, 2025. The upcoming information sessions will present an overview of the Draft Report and proposed Actionable Elements, and provide guidance on how the public can participate in the review process.
