Program Description

The Breezy Point Risk Mitigation Project is a critical part of barrier island protection for both the Breezy Point community and the Jamaica Bay watershed and floodplain. The project has two principal components: a double dune system on the ocean-side of the community and new protective measures on the bayside.

Note that FEMA determined that the Breezy Point Risk Mitigation Systems project does not meet eligibility criteria for Phase II funding. Phase I of this project has been terminated, and 25% of eligible Phase I implementation costs were reimbursed with CDBG-DR funds.
