Green Brook Flood Control Project

[1] The Green Brook Flood Control project has languished for decades due to a lack of federal funding.

An important levee (R2) on the southwestern side of Bound Brook, which would prevent the Raritan River from flooding the downtown and nearby residential areas, has been completed.

Full 150 year protection of downtown and nearby residential areas of Bound Brook is effectively in place with final construction due to be completed by the summer of 2014.

When completed, Finderne Farms will serve as a Somerset County park with trails through wetlands and ballfields.

More importantly, Finderne Farms will serve as an upstream wetland that will help to reduce flooding in the Raritan River valley by providing space for floodwaters to pool.
