Axios D.C. highlights flood risk
Experts described the risk to the Potomac Yard Metro Station and surrounding areas if the stadium project is completed. Climate change is expected to increase the frequency of major flooding in the area by 2050, and the stadium project will exacerbate the effect.
The big picture: The planned location of the new stadium complex is surrounded by low-lying transportation arteries and buildings that will be at increasing flood risk due in large part to human-caused climate change, experts tell Axios.
