The Glen Island seawall has been fully restored nine years after being damaged
by superstorm Sandy.
Westchester County Executive George Latimer and other local officials unveiled
the newly rehabilitated structure Friday in New Rochelle.
Officials say the vertical walls around the Harbor Club, the walkway and
pavilion along the seawall were affected the most during the 2012 storm.
"This not only protects the
harbor club, but it also protects Glen Island proper - that's what needed
to be done,” says Peter Tartaglia, of Westchester County Parks.
News 12 is told the restoration cost of the seawall was nearly $8 million.
The project was reimbursed by FEMA.
