Equipment pulled from Long Island, NY for project near Mar-a-Lago returns
A dredge transferred earlier this year from Long Island to a non-emergency project near President Donald Trumps Florida resort has returned to the South Shore and resumed repairs on beaches damaged by superstorm Sandy in 2012, Sen. Chuck Schumer said Sunday
A second dredge that had been transferred to the project near Trumps Mar-a-Lago resort will return to Long Island on Friday, Schumer (D-N.Y.) said during a news conference in Manhattan.
We are glad the dredge is back, the Senate minority leader said. It never should have been diverted for a non-emergency project in the first place.
The Army Corps of Engineers said its contractor, Weeks Marine, will complete work in Point O Woods and Ocean Bay Park on Fire Island, part of the Fire Island to Moriches Inlet Stabilization Project (FIMI), as scheduled by June 19.
