Project Description
Resilient Moakley Park is currently in an 18 month design and permitting phase.
The goals of this work include:
- To create a construction ready project for the first phase (Phase A) of the project
- Complete design and permitting for the resilient landscape berm and coastal landscape, protecting South Boston from projected coastal flooding
