"The Battery Park City Authority (BPCA) took Cove Club Condominium to court last week, arguing that if a judge doesn't grant it access to the condo, it won't be able to install critical flood walls and underground drainage structures around Battery Park City that could help prevent Hurricane Sandy-esque damage in the future."
"The coastal flood barrier system, conceived in the wake of Hurricane Sandy's destruction, has been in the works since 2015 and will provide critical flood risk reduction for an area that includes 120 buildings, 25,000 residents, 61,000 jobs and critical infrastructure and cultural institutions."
The Battery Park City Authority is suing Cove Club Condominium for access to conduct necessary flood protection work for a $2 billion resiliency project. The project aims to install flood walls and drainage structures to prevent future damage from storms like Hurricane Sandy. The BPCA claims that without access, critical components of the flood risk management system cannot be completed. The project has been in development since 2015 and is essential for protecting 120 buildings and 25,000 residents in the area.
