North Hudson Sewerage Authority to Receive $1M from FEMA

The North Hudson Sewerage Authority — located in uptown Hoboken — will receive $1 million in FEMA funds "for emergency protective measures," according to an announcement from the Christie Administration.

The NHSA — which serves Hoboken Union City, Weehawken and West New York — will be awarded federal funds for the use of force account equipment and contractors for storm preparedness, according to the state. The money will also be used to keep and restore the operations of their treatment facilities and pump stations following Sandy.

The entire project costs $1.3 million, of which FEMA will pay $1 million.

The rest of the roughly $15 million will go toward repairs at the Atlantic Highlands Harbor.
