Besides the many residences and businesses damaged or destroyed in Superstorm Sandy's wake, several projects that ENR New York covered earlier this year were also affected. These include projects in or near the hardest-hit regions, including Long Beach, N.Y.; New York City; and the New Jersey coast.
The Oct. 29th storm dealt a devastating blow to Long Island's barrier island of Long Beach, where severe flooding and high winds took out power and severely damaged or destroyed homes and infrastructure. The island is also home to Long Beach High School, which sits on the water's edge and is undergoing a $29-million renovation and expansion project.
