Island End River Flood Resilience Project

For the Island End River (IER) Flood Resilience Project, FPA is leading a dynamic team of design professionals, non-profit partners, and other regional partners. We are collaborating extensively with the Cities of Everett and Chelsea to pursue climate resilience planning goals and master permitting for projects focused on the IER corridor with responsibility for: state and federal grant writing; planning; permitting; flood barrier design in Everett; and stakeholder engagement services. Our stakeholder engagement plan includes a Stakeholder Working Group where FPA staff built a coalition with private sector commercial and industrial property owners and operators. Our bimonthly working group is the basis for the design and future implementation of regional flood solutions that will protect both vital waterfront industry and inland environmental justice communities.
