Coastal Resilience and Adaptation Study (2018)
prepared for the Old Saybrook Planning Commission
prepared by GZA GeoEnvironmental, Inc. with Stantec and Alex Felson Landscape Architect
funded by the CT Dept. of Housing Community Development Block Grant (Storm Sandy Disaster Recovery)
The Town has received the final report of its Coastal Resilience and Adaptation Study. The purpose of this project is to strengthen the environmental, social and economic resilience of the town to coastal flooding, to the impacts of sea level rise and to the likely increases in the frequency and intensity of coastal storms, coastal flooding, storm surges, and coastal erosion. Old Saybrook applied for and received notice in Winter 2016 that it had been awarded a $125,000 planning grant from the Connecticut Department of Housing through a "Community Development Block Grant - Disaster Recovery" program. The Town retained GZA, a leading environmental and
geotechnical consulting firm, to conduct a Community Coastal Resilience Study & Infrastructure Evaluation.
The Report can be found electronically on the Town's website and in hard copy (350+ pages) at the Acton Public Library.
