Joined by Wayne County homeowners recovering from the flooding of Lake Ontario, U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer today announced that following his push, he has secured $4.5 million for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to finally repair and rebuild the battered Charles Point barrier beach break wall that is needed to protect Sodus Bay and to safeguard homes on Charles Point bluff at risk of falling into Lake Ontario. With the Charles Point funding now secured, Schumer today also announced a new campaign to repair and restore Wayne county’s other barrier beaches and bays damaged by Lake Ontario’s floods by launching a major push for the U.S. Commerce Department’s Economic Development Administration (EDA) to quickly approve an upcoming Disaster Recovery grant that Wayne County officials are pursuing for $1.5 million needed to stabilize and repair Wayne County’s Crescent Beach, Blind Sodus, and Port Bay.
