The Agency of Commerce and Community Development, along with Windham Regional Commission, is hosting a Community Forum on Monday, April 20, from 7pm to 9pm at the Marlboro College Graduate Center in Brattleboro. The forum is part of the Vermont Economic Resiliency Initiative, which is working to develop recommendations to reduce flooding along the Whetstone Brook in Brattleboro.
Over the past six months, the VERI team has combined the community input with the work of river scientists to develop preliminary recommendations to improve public safety and help residents and businesses near the Whetstone Brook to quickly bounce back from future floods. At the forum, the team will share what they’ve learned and seek feedback on the draft report and recommended projects.
The forum will be led by Vermont Commissioner of Housing and Community Development Noelle Mackay. For more information: http://accd.vermont.gov/strong_communities/opportunities/planning/resiliency/VERI/Brattleboro, or contact Jeff Nugent at jnugent@windhamregional.org, or 802-257-4547, x-111.
