Flood Safety Act in Our Community Presentation

 in Uncategorized / Zoning

On Wednesday, June 18, 2025 at 6 pm in the Memorial Building (3rd Floor) and on Zoom, there will be a presentation on the Flood Safety Act.

The Flood Safety Act (Act 121), passed by the Vermont Legislature in 2024, takes a comprehensive approach to reducing flood risk across the state. The legislation strengthens protection of river corridors, promotes the strategic removal of derelict dams, and supports the restoration of wetlands to absorb and store excess floodwater. Most importantly, it represents a critical step in safeguarding lives and property from future storm events.

In anticipation of new statewide river corridor protection standards, Lake Champlain Sea Grant and The Nature Conservancy are partnering, at the request of the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), to conduct outreach with municipalities. The goal is to help communities understand the details, implications, and timeline for implementing these protections and to answer any questions related to the Flood Safety Act.

This presentation is open to all community members.
