Part I:    Case Study: New York Wheel climate resilience effort for the development of a 630 foot Observation Wheel similar to the London Eye located at the St. George Redevelopment district.

Part II: As a result of the New York Wheel exercise and some community meetings, The NRF was conceived initially in April 2013 and the corporation was formed in late August 2013.

Part IV: Climate resilience efforts for homeowners, multi- family buildings (especially lower income), small businesses and Building Improvement Districts (BIDs).
