The Center is accessed by state and local leaders, business owners and residents living in areas especially vulnerable to flooding and storms."

That’s the best way to rebuild and it’s our goal at HUD.”
Earlier in the day, the 10 design teams presented as many as five ideas to a jury assembled by Rebuild by Design, a Hurricane Sandy Rebuilding Task Force allied with HUD. The teams had three months to research their design ideas. Early next month, the jury will select one idea -- the best idea -- from each team. The teams will focus on refining those ideas and the competition will continue into 2014, when HUD will decide which team or teams to fund. "
