Governor Andrew Cuomo visited Long Beach last Sunday and announced that State will spend $13 million to construct flood barriers in the shoreline.
It will be an effort to protect the wastewater treatment plant and the infrastructure in the area from impending storms, like the superstorm Sandy. The project consists of 4400 feet of an adjustable seawall that will remain at ground level in normal conditions. It will be raised to a height of 11 feet when a storm approaches, protecting the area against flooding. Additional, 2300 feet of bulkheads are planned to be built to the same height, along the bayside. The project is scheduled to start next year, according to the governor’s office.
