Virtual Open House, Option #1
June 28,2021. 6-8 PM EST.
We invite you to join us at the Financial District and Seaport Climate Resilience Master Plan’s Virtual Open House to learn more about the plan, and to provide input on what you envision for the future of Lower Manhattan. We will explore why the area’s low-lying topography, dense infrastructure, and complex waterfront and maritime uses make it particularly challenging to protect and adapt. Through ongoing discussions around project constraints and opportunities, we will work together to build a plan that provides flood protection infrastructure and responds to the community’s input and needs.
