Granite Street Historic District Flood Resiliency Plan for the Town of Hardwick, Vermont
The Town of Hardwick seeks a qualified consulting firm specializing in community flood resilience to develop a flood resiliency plan for the Granite Street Historic District—an area severely impacted by recent flood events along Cooper Brook and the Upper Lamoille River.
This plan will build on past assessments and engage residents, businesses, and partners to identify mitigation solutions and enhance long-term flood preparedness. The purpose of the project is to develop a conceptual plan that identifies potential areas where floodwaters can be spread out and slowed down, and where public infrastructure and/or private investments can be reinforced, protected, elevated, or relocated.
Project Partners:
Town of Hardwick, Center for an Agricultural Economy (CAE), Granite Street Historic District residents
Funding Provided By: Municipal Planning Grant Program administered by the Vermont Agency of Commerce and Community Development
