Waterfront Flooding Task Force Overview
The Kingston Waterfront Flooding Task Force was appointed by Mayor Shayne Gallo in the fall of 2012, and was charged with evaluating the present and future vulnerability to flooding, storm surge and sea-level rise along the Rondout-Hudson waterfront, and was asked to recommend strategies for a resilient waterfront. This Task Force convened from December 2012 through August 2013.
