BendiNewsTest: Rebuild By Design Competition Winners Announced – $1 Billion Awarded to Protect East Coast From Future Storms

Hi,

This page is currently being developed. This page checks Sustainability Blogs and RSS News Feeds for new content and posts it to here each day. The aim is to share information related to sustainability which is relevant to people living in Central Victoria while also providing a channel for international sustainability information. I am just discovering the Internets information sharing potential. I'd like to help other not so tech savvy people learn how to find interesting and new Sustainability info. Please tell me your favorite blogs or news sources and I will add them to the list.

Thanks

Rebuild By Design Competition Winners Announced – $1 Billion Awarded to Protect East Coast From Future Storms

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) just unveiled six winning proposals for the Rebuild by Design competition developed to increase the New York-New Jersey region’s climate change resiliency after Superstorm Sandy. Nearly $1 billion in federal funding is being awarded to implement the projects, the largest of which will be a protective system in lower Manhattan to shield against floods and stormwater. The “Big U” project is set to receive $335 million to implement the first phase of the proposal, which will create an earthen “bridging berm” at East River Park.
