The original boardwalk was destroyed by Sandy Hurricane.
Schumer said FEMA
will be picking up the tab for most, if not all, of the $44 million price tag.
The new boardwalk is made up of
resilient materials, including Brazilian hardwoods and concrete. It also
features a retaining wall that will provide protection from future storms.
Many
residents are still struggling to rebuild their homes. City officials said the
return of a small section of boardwalk is a sign of the progress already being
made.
Overall, this project is expected to span
over two miles and cost over $40 million when all construction is complete.
The city
says the entire boardwalk will be re-built by early November.
This new Boardwalk is expected to last 30-40 Yrs even with future
storms.
