Government officials have been planning for a new system of sand dunes along New Jersey's coastline, in order to prevent similar destruction that was caused by Superstorm Sandy, but some homeowners remain opposed to the idea.
Announcing the $1.8 billion in federal grants headed to New Jersey for recovery from Superstorm Sandy, state and federal government officials pledged additional help down the road.
Superstorm Sandy, a hybrid of a hurricane and two cold-weather systems, struck six months ago on Oct. 29, concentrating most of its fury on New Jersey, New York and Connecticut and becoming one of the most expensive storms in history. Six months later, the region is still recovering and the scope of the storm has come into sharper focus. Figures are as of Friday.
