Join CamdenCAN and the town of Camden for a joint presentation and discussion focused on harbor flood vulnerabilities and potential alternatives to address those threats in Camden Harbor. This community outreach event takes place on Tuesday, October 15, at 6:30 p.m. in the Picker Room at Camden Public Library, as well as on Zoom. This event is intended for all ages. Refreshments and activities for families will be provided.
Peter Slovinsky of the Maine Geological Survey will outline the challenges at hand and Blake Sanborn, Todd Richardson and Todd Coffin, from Richardson & Associates/WSP, will give an introduction to the Town of Camden’s resilience planning initiative.
Camden was awarded its third Community Resilience Partnership Community Action Grant by the Governor’s Office of Policy Innovation and the Future (GOPIF) over a year ago to help fund resilience planning for Camden’s Inner Harbor.
The select board awarded the contract (07/02/24 meeting) to Richardson & Associates/WSP to develop a harbor resilience roadmap in partnership with the Camden community. Their work will be based on current and projected sea-level rise and storm surge data.
This Oct. 15 event is the first of a fall/winter series of public meetings/workshops. This session is intended to provide background on the project, preliminary site analysis, and an outline for the community-based planning process. We encourage all Camden residents to participate in the process to create a resilient Camden. The evening will be recorded.
