Mayor Eric Adams unveiled a $1 billion plan today to revitalize New York City’s waterfront parks, enhancing green spaces and making them more resilient to climate change. The project includes flood mitigation measures, new recreational areas, and improved access for underserved communities.
“Waterfronts are our city’s greatest natural asset,” said Adams. “This investment will ensure they remain vibrant, accessible, and sustainable for generations.”
The initiative, set to begin this summer, will focus on transforming areas like Red Hook, Long Island City, and the South Bronx. Environmental groups applauded the plan, calling it a vital step in adapting to rising sea levels.
