Project Vision and Purpose

The National Park Service (NPS) is rehabilitating water, wastewater, stormwater, and electrical utility systems at Gateway National Recreation Area. Phase I includes repairs and replacements at Fort Wadsworth and relocating power transmission lines at Sandy Hook. This $34 million project ensures reliable utilities for park visitors.

Fort Wadsworth is one of the oldest military installations in the nation. The site occupies 226 acres on the northeastern shore of Staten Island, on the Narrows of New York Harbor. Rich in history and natural beauty, Fort Wadsworth affords you the opportunity to observe an important part of our nation's history, while offering magnificent views of New York Harbor.
