Army Corps contracting process continues despite Coronavirus Pandemic
For decades, the Rockaway Beach community in the Boroughs of Queens and Brooklyn in New York City has been devastated by hurricanes and Hurricane Sandy in 2012 was no exception. As a result of these storms, the beach has lost considerable sand, making the community vulnerable to flooding, economic damage, and loss of life. Since the 1970’s, the New York District has been performing sand replenishment work for Rockaway Beach. After Hurricane Sandy, the district restored 3.5 million cubic yards of sand, enough material to fill the Empire State Building two times over.
