Establishing a Regional Flood Resilience Authority
June 18, 2025
A Better City recently submitted comments supporting S.658, An Act Pertaining to Regional Resilience and Flood Protection Entities. S.658 is seeking to establish a regional Flood Management and Mitigation Authority in Massachusetts to help promote flood resilience, which A Better City recommends should be expanded to also: address other forms of resilience beyond flooding; include vulnerable residents and workers alongside built infrastructure resilience in forthcoming resilience regulations; and establish a Resilient Permitting Commission to guide regulatory reform. For any questions, please contact Isabella Gambill.
