Boston, Army Corps Release Sea Level Rise Study
Planned projects are estimated to prevent more than $40B in projected losses through end of century, though questions loom over who pays.
The City of Boston and the Army Corps of Engineers released the Boston Coastal Storm Risk Management Feasibility Study, a $10B plan to protect the city from flooding risk and rising seas. The study evaluates 47 miles of coastline and proposes over 20 specific infrastructure projects, including levees, flood walls and storm surge barriers. Councilors raised early questions about the study, including the impact of walls on neighborhood shoreline access. You can read about the study and sign up for project updates at this link.
