Pallone & Army Corps of Engineers Announce Progress on Keansburg Beach Replenishment and Flood Control Projects

For those area residents that would like to know what's going on with the flood control project scheduled to begin by the end of the year in Port Monmouth, there's a special meeting tomorrow in Keansburg that you may want to attend.

Congressman Frank Pallone and Colonel Paul Owen, Commander of the New York District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, will announce details to the Keansburg and Sandy Hook to Barnegat Inlet flood control and beach replenishment projects that will be completed to restore damage to the Jersey Shore caused by Superstorm Sandy. Congressman Pallone and Colonel Owen will outline the scope and timeline of this critical infrastructure work that will help protect the Jersey Shore from storms through repairs and improvements.

Pallone previously announced that the projects would be funded by the Sandy Aid package that passed Congress in January. This funding will provide an unprecedented investment of hundreds of millions of dollars in beach replenishment and flood protection in the Sixth Congressional District.

The meeting will take place at Keansburg's Waterfront Library. The meeting is scheduled to begin at 12:45pm but you may want to get there a little early to ensure a seat.
