Environmental Impacts Statement: New York/New Jersey

Notice of Public Scoping Meetings in Preparation of a Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the Cross Harbor Freight Movement Project. The New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC), as project sponsor, in coordination with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Federal Railroad Admininstration (FRA) as joint lead agencies, is preparing an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Cross Harbor Freight Movement Project. As part of the Cross Harbor Freight Movement Project, strategies for enhancing freight mobility within the New York City/northern New Jersey region are being evaluated. A Major Investment Study (MIS), completed in 2000, identified several strategies that satisfied established project goals and objectives. The purpose of the EIS is to examine the ability of the selected strategies to improve mobility of goods traffic, improve environmental quality, enhance the region's competitive position and provide flexibility to respond to possible service disruptions to the region's vital Hudson River Crossings. NYCEDC will conduct seven (7) public scoping meetings to discuss the proposed draft scope of work for the Draft Environmental Impact Stateme
