WEST STOCKBRIDGE, Mass. — West Stockbridge and Richmond ask residents and property owners to provide input to help the town to develop a plan to reduce flooding, improve climate readiness, and address stormwater runoff impacts in Richmond and West Stockbridge.
 
The towns want feedback on any locations that see recurring flooding, strategies used to reduce flooding, and your priorities for future projects. This will help inform the selection of project locations and design of flood reduction solutions that will benefit the community.
 
This work is funded by the Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs' Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness (MVP) Grant program: https://resilientma.mass.gov/mvp/
