What Is an Environmental Assessment, Anyway?

at Virtual/Online Events, Bronx River House (in Starlight Park)Bronx

6:30 p.m.8:30 p.m.
"Big construction projects often require an environmental assessment or an environmental impact statement. These are reports that specify how the project would impact the community’s air, water, and soil health. It also speaks to how the project might impact flooding in the area. Basically, these reports help a community understand the environmental impacts of a project, and answer the question if the benefit of the project is equal to its long term cost. Once construction is done, it is the community who will have to breathe the air or clean the water. Learn more about environmental assessments, how to read them, and how you can engage in the process that comes after. Join Save the Sound, the Bronx River Alliance, and Transportation Alternatives online or in-person to learn about environmental assessments!"
