EPA: Gowanus Canal cleanup fund nearly depleted, Trump won’t help
The Gowanus Canal’s cleanup fund is on the verge of running out and President Donald Trump is not coming to the rescue.
Despite recent reports that the cleanup would move forward as planned — unrestrained by the Trump administration — the project is actually in jeopardy.
Gowanus Canal Project Manager Christos Tsiamis, a 25-plus-year veteran of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), alerted Gowanus residents at a monthly Community Advisory Group (CAG) meeting on Tuesday of the fund’s bleak future.
