Awarded 2 Grants: Community Participation Welcome

 

Climate Change/Sea Level Rise Commission Encouraging Community Participation
The Town of St. Michaels was recently awarded two Maryland Department of Natural Resources grants. The Town Commissioners and Climate Change/Sea Level Rise Commission (CC/SLRC) will now move forward to implement the grants.

  • The first grant, “Resiliency Through Restoration: St. Michaels West Harbor Road/East Chew Avenue Flood Mitigation Feasibility Assessment and Conceptual Design” is a study which will develop proposed mitigation strategies for the projected stormwater flooding and sea level rise in this area by 2050. The study will include a conceptual design considering the West Harbor Road and East Chew Avenue roadways, adjacent residences, hotel, Town boat slips, boat ramps and associated parking.
  • The second grant, “St. Michaels San Domingo Creek and Westside Stormwater and Harbor Infrastructure Assessment and Flood Mitigation Study” is to complete a tidal, sea level rise, and stormwater assessment which identifies at risk infrastructure, community assets, and properties on the San Domingo watershed side of our Town and develop proposed mitigation strategies.

Thank you,
Members of the Climate Change/Sea Level Rise Commission
