CDRPC Local Government Workshop Webinar: Delivery Models for Resilience: A Case Study for New York’s Great Lakes Basin

As a result of the record high-water levels on Lake Ontario and the associated flooding and erosion in 2017 and 2019, the NYSDOS Coastal Lakeshore Economy and Resiliency (CLEAR) Initiative is a new community engagement process that will support local communities in New York’s Great Lakes – St. Lawrence River region and educate stakeholders about flood and erosion risk in order to promote a comprehensive resilience strategy. Success in the long-term implementation of this planning initiative, as in most plans, largely depends on the local governments–and the lack of resources and organizational capacity are traditionally cited as obstacles. As the CLEAR Initiative begins, Bergmann looks to other models in New York State that support adaptation and resilience, such the Hudson River Estuary Program, to encourage innovative approaches to collaboration, partnerships, and long-term service delivery for New York’s Great Lakes region.

This Webinar is made possible by presenting sponsor, Bergmann.
