Projects
The council have just finished working on storm surge protection. The storm surge protection contains concrete barriers and small hill-like barriers with a path on top which are now connected to sun set walk (A river side walk in Foxton Beach). Many subdivisons have been created and many new houses are and have been constructed. The new houses have indicated that the Foxton Beach permanent population is growing due to the style the houses are being built.

Famous quotes containing the word projects:
“But look what we have built ... low-income projects that become worse centers of delinquency, vandalism and general social hopelessness than the slums they were supposed to replace.... Cultural centers that are unable to support a good bookstore. Civic centers that are avoided by everyone but bums.... Promenades that go from no place to nowhere and have no promenaders. Expressways that eviscerate great cities. This is not the rebuilding of cities. This is the sacking of cities.”
—Jane Jacobs (b. 1916)
“One of the things that is most striking about the young generation is that they never talk about their own futures, there are no futures for this generation, not any of them and so naturally they never think of them. It is very striking, they do not live in the present they just live, as well as they can, and they do not plan. It is extraordinary that whole populations have no projects for a future, none at all.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
