Resiliency study funded: consultants to be hired after town council approval, committee told
Summary
The committee’s resiliency liaison said the town council authorized hiring consultants for a townwide resiliency plan and the infrastructure committee approved funding; the next step is contract execution and planning for public outreach and stakeholder engagement.
Sally, representing the committee’s connection to town sustainability work, told the Marketing Committee that the town council gave approval on March 20 to engage a consulting firm to develop a townwide resiliency plan, and that the infrastructure committee approved funding for the study at its April 2 meeting.
"I have good news and I have better news," Sally told the committee, summarizing the two approvals and saying the next step is for consultants to sign contracts and begin work. Once a consultant is on board, Sally said the committee will coordinate messaging and public education; she suggested the committee may help advertise forums or outreach sessions but noted content decisions will be worked through the resiliency committee and brought back for review.
The committee discussed timing; Sally said work with a contractor is expected to ramp up in June and July, and that public education and outreach planning would follow the consultant’s initial work plan. Members recommended involving stakeholders across neighboring towns and leveraging the civic league for advertising when content is ready.
Next steps: finalize consultant contract, define stakeholder engagement and messaging plans, and coordinate outreach timing with the Marketing Committee once the resiliency committee produces draft messages for review.
