The City of New York was awarded a $46.25 million cooperative agreement from the United States Department of Agriculture's National Resources Conservation Service to provide water infrastructure to urban gardens lacking access in the five boroughs of New York City. The project will be carried out under the Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention program, which provides technical and financial assistance for works improving land and water resource protection, development and utilization in watersheds. Specifically, the City of New York Parks & Recreation Department, a sub-awardee of the City of New York, will install water infrastructure to address access issues facing community gardens in the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens and Staten Island. The project is to be completed by December 5, 2030, with funding provided through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act to support job creation and critical water access upgrades for urban green spaces.
