TOWN OF MANCHESTER FLOOD RESILIENCY PLAN

The Town of Manchester is seeking the services of a qualified engineering firm to conduct a comprehensive planning effort to study the Town's stormwater management infrastructure to assess its vulnerabilities and to identify strategic improvements designed to improve the Town's resiliency to future flooding events related to climate change.

The Town of Manchester received Track 1 funding from the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) through its Climate Resilience Fund grant program to engage a qualified consulting engineer to develop a comprehensive plan to assist the Town with identifying vulnerabilities in its stormwater management infrastructure, to understand the implications of current and future extreme precipitation events and to identify mitigation solutions to reduce the negative impact of climate change that could be ultimately be funded through Track 2 of the same grant program.
