✦ Plain-Language Summary

This resolution approves the selection and acquisition of land in Queens and Brooklyn to build a system that captures and holds excess sewage during heavy rainstorms. Without this system, overflow sewage can flow into local waterways, harming water quality and public health. The project aims to reduce pollution in surrounding neighborhoods across Community Districts in both boroughs.
