About this event
In this talk, Daniel Ciraldo looks at what the towers would ask of the island's sewers, water supply and drainage, on a barrier island that already floods: what the applications say, what the city's own infrastructure plans say, what the state law does and does not require a developer to show, and what residents can ask the city to do about it.
