Join CamdenCAN and the town of Camden for our next presentation and discussion focused on harbor flood vulnerabilities and two preliminary draft alternatives to address those threats in Camden Harbor. This event takes place on Wednesday, February 5, at 4:30 p.m. in the Picker Room and is intended for all ages! Refreshments and activities for families will be provided.

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 as well as a Shore and Harbor Planning Grant from the Maine Coastal Program.

Prior to this event, the consultant team has conducted site assessment, mapped flood vulnerability, hosted the first community-wide engagement event and organized three stakeholder meetings with CamdenCAN/Municipal Staff/Business Owners. Now we want to welcome everyone to review preliminary resilience strategies and lend your thoughts on the planning progress.

In this session Blake Sanborn, Todd Richardson and Todd Coffin, from Richardson & Associates/WSP, will share results of the community survey and two preliminary draft alternatives developed from the input gathered to date. Participants will be asked to comment on the drafts and offer suggestions for improvement that will inform a preferred alternative and final set of recommendations.

This evening is being presented by CamdenCAN (ClimateActionNow) a citizen-led organization committed to reducing Camden’s contribution to climate change through local action, education, advocacy, and resources. We help our community take advantage of climate solutions with actionable steps. Read the CamdenCAN newsletter here.
