Town officials seek to develop a list of projects that would address critical town infrastructure needs with a focus on increasing resilience to coastal perils.
The meeting is to cover potential resilience projects with opportunity to ask questions and provide feedback to project representatives on current risks and the needs to be addressed. It’s part of the state’s Resilient Coastal Communities Program.
