The city will receive federal money for two large projects in and around New Haven Harbor, U.S. Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-3, announced.

The largest amount, $160.3 million, will help to protect Long Wharf from flooding because of large storms and climate change. The city also will receive $63 million to complete the project by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to dredge and widen the harbor’s shipping channel to make it more navigable by large ships.

Mayor Justin Elicker said both projects require “a lot of planning and work” and “one of the reasons we were successful is because New Haven was already planning to respond to sea level rise and coastal events and was ready when the funding became available.”
