Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo is proposing to spend as much as $400 million to purchase homes wrecked by Hurricane Sandy, have them demolished and then preserve the flood-prone land permanently, as undeveloped coastline.
Questions:
1. Where would these buyout zones be?
2. If the buyout is using Federal funding (as proposed), does there need to be a Section 106 review?
