Connect with Us
Consistent and transparent communication with the community is an essential element of the Waterfront flood mitigation project. Ever since plans to reassess the Schematic Landscape Design approach in 2020, the City has consistently shared information and collected feedback from the Waterfront Commission, Parks and Recreation Commission, civic associations, other special interest groups, and community members. The Waterfront Flood Mitigation Project team is dedicated to maintaining that open dialogue with the community as the project progresses through design and construction in the years to come.
