U.S. Army Corps suspends key study of city storm protections

 

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has stopped a multiyear study of strategies and projects meant to protect the New York City region against catastrophic storm surges and rising seas.

 

Environmentalists and policy makers received an email from the Corps saying that a Feb. 27 meeting had been canceled, and that work on the study had been indefinitely postponed. โ€œActivities related to the New York New Jersey Harbor and Tributaries Study are suspended until further notice,โ€ it saidโ€ฆ.
