MVP Action Grant--Evaluating Vulnerabilities and Options to Promote Resiliency

[EN ESPANOL: HAGA CLIC AQUI]

FY2024's Municipal Vulnerability Program action grant project will allow Town officials and residents to better under River Rd stones stand the timeline and locations of future flooding and explore both interim and long-term climate change adaptation strategies at River Road and lower Coffin and Bridge Streets. It will also inform planning and consideration of alternatives to foster resiliency. It consists of:

public activities, meetings and outreach to inform and engage citizens and Town officials;
an existing conditions survey (including bank erosion, watershed delineations, and other factors) of the areas shown susceptible to Merrimack River flooding;
a study of culverts and stormwater infrastructure;
a report of vulnerabilities in 2030, 2050, and 2070; and
options for shoreline stabilization as well as other solutions (preferably nature-based) for longer time frames.
