Your editor's response: Not quite "a few zillion" BUT NOT SMALL POTATOES either....and it was 2009/2010...I am certain this is in the personal files somewhere but a quick turn with Google AI confirms at least some of what is remembered.
Raising portions of the parking lot surface rather than building million-dollar flood barriers (doubtful would work long-term) was the approach taken under The 2009 Parking Lot Project
In 2009, the Village of Croton-on-Hudson undertook a project to elevate sections of the Croton-Harmon Train Station Parking Lot. The goal was to reduce the frequency of regular tidal flooding from the nearby Hudson River and wetlands. This work involved regrading and raising the ground level rather than constructing dedicated vertical flood barriers.
Over time, the ground in the lower commuter sections has settled, allowing tidal flooding to return during extreme weather and high tides. [1, 2]
The village later engaged engineering consultants (AKRF, Inc.) to study shoreline resiliency and long-term mitigation options for the lower lots.[1, 2]
Proposals for future funding, including potential revenue from redeveloping Parking Lot A, continue to target comprehensive structural solutions to protect the transit hub. [1]
COSTS:The 2009 flood mitigation and elevation project at the Croton-Harmon Train Station Parking Lot was funded by a $3,060,000 bond approved by the village in February 2009. [1]
The specifics of the expenditure included:The Base Construction Contract: Awarded to low-bidder Sisca Northeast, Inc. for $2,581,023 to fill and re-grade the flood-prone sections. [1]
Design & Engineering: Handled separately by engineering firm Dvirka & Bartilucci. [1]
Additional Adjustments: Minor additions were made during construction, such as a $6,569.01 adjustment authorized to realign a newly built gabion wall. [1]
The total bonded amount also accommodated the village's transition to automated, "Pay-By-Space" parking stations which went live in early 2010.
