D.4.5 Environmental Resiliency Initiatives
Action
Develop, fund, implement and maintain an environmental resiliency and low impact development plan.
Why
Implementing low impact development principles and practices, and planning for environmental resiliency:
- manages and cleans stormwater
- reduces road closures due to flooding (keeps customers from visiting, employees from working)
- mitigates impacts to property owners and businesses
- can add beauty and interest through green infrastructure
How
- Utilize any previous studies or community engagement feedback to create, fund and implement an environmental resiliency and low impact development plan.
- Work with partners such as the local Department of Public Works, Engineering Department and the State of CT Department of Transportation Right of Way office as needed.
