A design concept for the Meadowlands area was selected in 2014 as a winner of Department of Housing and Urban Development's Rebuild by Design competition.
HUD has since allocated $150 million towards the design and construction of a solution that will reduce flooding risks and enhance resiliency in this area.
Three build alternatives to reduce the flood risk are being examined, according to the scoping draft,
- Alternative 1 will analyze the use of levees, berms, barriers, or floodwalls.
- Alternative 2 will analyze the impacts of substantial drainage improvements achieved through a series of local projects.
- Alternative 3, a hybrid of Alternatives 1 and 2, will analyze the impacts of blending new infrastructure and drainage improvements.
New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection welcomes the public's input and comments will be accepted until July 21.
