Hudson County View Gov. Phil Murphy (D), U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Marcia Fudge, U.S. Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ), and U.S. Rep. Albio Sires (D-8) joined Hoboken officials to break ground on their $230 million Rebuild by Design project. “We know, that given the impact of climate change, it is not a question of if, it is when Hoboken and this region will be struck by another severe storm. I vividly remember how the [Hurricane] Sandy storm surge brought the Hudson River in on Hoboken in the north and the south,” recalled Dawn Zimmer, Hoboken’s mayor between 2009 and 2017.
