The Southeastern Connecticut Council of Governments (SECCOG), UConn-based Connecticut Institute for Resilience and Climate Adaptation (CIRCA), GZA Geoenvironmental, and leaders from Norwich and Bozrah met Monday to discuss possible flood prevention strategies along the river, and then visited those sites.

Learning about the history of impacted sites is important at the beginning of a flood mitigation study. There was a site walk for parts of the Yantic River Watershed in Bozrah and Franklin earlier this year, Director or Resilience Planning John Truscinski said.
