Join us on January 28 for a conversation with municipal leaders, state agency representatives, and engineers to learn how climate change is impacting our communities and how the CSO Long Term Control Plans can be used to prepare for the future. Currently, infrastructure improvements worth billions of dollars are being designed to address CSOs. The CSO Long Term Control Plans will be implemented over the next 30 years, but will they be designed to withstand 30 years of climate change impacts? 

Learn what municipal leaders and state agencies are doing to address climate challenges such as sea level rise, increased storms, and extreme heat, and the possible solutions that link climate change planning with sewer system upgrades. Municipal leaders and legislators can act now to help protect their communities from the devastating impacts of climate change. Be part of the conversation!
