WEBINAR DESCRIPTION
CIRCA staff gave an overview of a new project entitled, Resilient Connecticut and its focus on New Haven and Fairfield Counties. The importance of this work was introduced with a description of the latest climate projections for Connecticut’s sea level rise, temperature, and precipitation along with concerns about how these will impact critical infrastructure, transportation, and housing along the coast. The CIRCA team then described resilient design strategies being considered and opportunities for engagement in this project over the next three years. Resilient Connecticut will involve extensive public input and coordination with state agencies, regional Councils of Governments, municipalities, nonprofits, and consultants to generate a series of innovative and practical projects.
