MAKE CAMBRIDGE RESILIENT
Project Update
Project Update: At this time we are seeking signed land access agreements to perform geotechnical borings from targeted property owners along the shoreline. These borings are used to investigate the subsurface conditions of the land as part of the Flood Mitigation Project - Phase 1 Design.
This project is crucial to the City’s efforts to reduce flooding. All property owners within the targeted shoreline area have been sent letters along with land access agreements.
If you should have any questions, please contact the Make Cambridge Resilient Project Manager, Larry White at 410-245-4211.
Make Cambridge Resilient Initiative
The "Make Cambridge Resilient Initiative" has been expanded beyond the shoreline and stormwater flood risk reduction project to include a community development program. Recommendations from the "Flood Mitigation Plan" included the identification of additional community improvement planning and projects. These recommendations formed the basis for the new community development program included under the "Make Cambridge Resilient Initiative."
This website has been updated to include information on all aspects of the "Make Cambridge Resilient Initiative."
Make Cambridge Resilient - Flood Mitigation Plan
The purpose of this plan was to comprehensively evaluate factors and conditions contributing to both existing and future flooding problems. To the extent feasible, the planning process included the development of flood mitigation and resilience strategies that lended themselves to innovative funding opportunities taking advantage of various desirable co-benefits for the environment, economy, and community. This planning project was primarily focused on mitigating flood risks along the Choptank River and Cambridge Creek, which are the primary sources of flooding in the city.
