Hazard Mitigation & Climate Resilience Planning

Flooding in Tewksbury

Come learn with us! The Town of Tewksbury and the Merrimack River Watershed Council are holding a public meeting to discuss flooding issues in town, both informed by a recent town-wide survey, and engineering analysis. We will also be discussing green infrastructure as a solution to this flooding, with specifics on what green infrastructure is already in place and what may be implemented in the future.

A meeting was held at the Tewksbury Library on May 23rd:
- Slide deck for meeting
- Final Flooding Survey Results
