Congressman Jerrold Nadler (NY-08), who represents parts of Manhattan and Brooklyn, announced today that the Water Resources Development Act Conference Report passed by Congress includes an authorization of $10 million in funding for the Hudson River Park Trust.  The bill will authorize funds for critical work on the park, including restoration of marine habitat, safety improvements, and rehabilitation of piers and core infrastructure.

"The Hudson River Park is crucial to the continuing growth of the West Side, and I am proud to support it," said Rep. Nadler.  "These funds could be used for a number of key priorities for the park.  It’s an important part of the ongoing civic improvement that continues to have a profound impact on the quality of life in New York City."
