| Description: |
Nearly $33 million in damage will be done to buildings along Portland's low-lying - and high-traffic - Commercial Street area by 2050 because of steady sea level rise, a city architects group announced Tuesday. That figure jumps to about $111 million by 2100. By that year, parcels where $46.4 million worth of buildings stand today will be "inundated on a daily basis [by high-tide flooding] if no changes are made."
