RICHMOND, Mass. — Richmond and West Stockbridge are completing a collaborative action plan to proactively reduce flooding, improve climate readiness, and address stormwater impacts across the two communities. 

 

The Resilient Stormwater Action and Implementation Plan will identify and prioritize short- and long-term flood reduction projects across the communities - and position the Towns to receive future state funding.

 

There were 85 survey respondents who helped identify locations with a history of flooding and shared how they have addressed flooding on their properties.

 

Attend two informational webinars happening Monday, Feb. 27, and Wednesday, March 29 (from 6:30 – 7:15pm). These webinars will provide information geared towards riverfront and lakefront homeowners – but relevant to all - about reducing flooding and supporting a more climate resilient community.

Survey results are being used to inform modeling of flooding issues associated with existing infrastructure and future climate conditions. Nature-based solutions to mitigate flooding will also be assessed within the flood model.
