The report identifies Corps of Engineers projects that are eligible for Sandy Aid bill funding through supplemental funds from that bill. The report does not represent an exhaustive list of projects, meaning inclusion on this list does not necessarily mean they will be funded and not being included does not mean that they are excluded from funding.
As the report was developed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Headquarters in Washington, D.C., and involves more than just New York District's area of operations, any queries regarding the report's contents should be directed to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Headquarters Public Affairs Office at either 202-761-7690 or 202-761-0010.
Specific questions about New York District projects should be addressed to the district Public Affairs Office at 917-790-8007.
