On 8/10/22, standing with homeowners and county officials who know how important FIMP is to Long Island’s future, U.S. Senator Charles Schumer revealed that many homeowners participating in the project, who want to raise their homes, could be reimbursed for relocation costs during the home renovation process-- thanks to a provision he secured into the Senate-passed WRDA bill. However, Schumer said that this local win needs to be preserved in the final legislation now being finalized. Schumer announced a major push to keep this LI win in place, detailed why it is so important to FIMP and provided numbers on who would be eligible.
