In addition, this Climate Resilience project for Richmond and West Stockbridge will culminate in a plan that identifies potential project locations for nature-based solutions to mitigate flooding. Your input on the draft plan and possible solutions will be needed later in the spring, so stay tuned for further updates. If you want to sign up for alerts, go to https://tinyurl.com/RWSSignup.
