Funding Awarded for Waterfront Resiliency

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) announced today that it has awarded $384,000 to "increase shoreline resilience and improve recreational access using nature-based solutions." Of that amount, $200,000 goes to Assemblage Landscape Architecture DPC for a climate-adaptive waterfront park design in the City of Hudson." The announcement explains: 
The project for this proposal will create a more accessible waterfront that maintains Hudson's water-based recreational vitality, while prioritizing nature-based solutions that restore the shoreline to a dynamic intertidal marshland that adapts to projected future sea-level rise and flooding.  

The grant requires a $75,000 match from the City of Hudson, which was approved by the Common Council on May 29.
