Town X, Massachusetts Coastal Protection Resilience Action Plan in Westbrook, CT

The Westbrook team was in the process of developing a Resilience Action Plan for this coastal town when current events overtook them and a climate-related controversy caused their project to be ill-timed. Welcome to the real world, Climate Corps! In a show of resilience themselves, the team undertook a Coastal Resilience Plan for a town in Massachusetts that, after much research, they deemed to have many of the same geographic, demographic, and social characteristics of Westbrook. The thought was that the Town X report would still have value in Westbrook with regard to the strategies and options described for responding to climate impacts to residential neighborhoods, the harbor area, and public beaches.
