Red Hook Container Terminal to receive $1.6 million in FEMA funding
More than two years after Superstorm Sandy, The Red Hook Container Terminal is on its way to recovery.
The space, severely damaged by the October, 2012 storm, will receive $1.6 million in Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) funding for repairs, announced U.S. Senators Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand and Congressmember Nydia Velázquez on Tuesday, February 10.
“Superstorm Sandy damaged Red Hook Container Terminal, a major shipping port here in New York that is so important to our local economy,” Schumer said. “I am pleased that FEMA is providing the reimbursement for these much-needed repairs to the container terminal.”
