Bathe isicwangciso asihambelani nemigangatho ye-ofisi kwaye asizithobi iimpembelelo kumhlaba wokufama, kubandakanywa nemephu ye-FEMA yeminyaka eyi-100 yendawo yezikhukhula.I-Senators nayo yabonisa indawo ecacileyo kwiprojekthi kunye nenkcaso yendawo.Bamemelele amagosa karhulumente ukuba asebenzisane noHekate kunye namaqela achaphazelekayo kulo mmandla ukuze kufunyanwe iindawo ezahlukeneyo zokwenza lo msebenzi.

Isicelo seprojekthi yelanga ye-Shepherd's Run silindele ukuvunywa kwi-Ofisi yoKubeka aMandla aVuselelwayo (ORES), eyaphendula kwileta ethunyelwe kwiisenenja ngoLwesihlanu.
“Njengoko kuchaziwe kwizigqibo ezenziweyo ukuza kuthi ga ngoku kunye namaphepha-mvume okugqibela okuhlala, abasebenzi baseofisini, ngokubonisana nee-arhente ezingamahlakani, baqhuba uphononongo lwendalo esingqongileyo oluneenkcukacha noluselubala lwesiza sesityalo selanga seShepherd's Run kunye neprojekthi ethile,” ibhala i-ORES.
I-ORES "izimisele ukusebenzisana nabo bonke abachaphazelekayo ekuncedeni i-New York State ukuba ifezekise iinjongo zayo zamandla acocekileyo ngokufanelekileyo ngokusemandleni phantsi koMthetho wobuNkokheli beMozulu kunye noKhuseleko loLuntu (CLCPA)," itsho ingxelo.
