With such an engaged and active community, I am enthusiastic about the potential for high participation."

More About the Forums:

These forums are designed to be both informative and engaging, with the ultimate goal of prioritizing climate resilience in Newburyport. Jane Healey, the chair of the Resiliency Committee, put it best: "We are at a critical juncture where community involvement is absolutely necessary. These forums are a great opportunity to become informed about the issues and understand how each of us can contribute to a more sustainable and resilient future for our city."

The City of Newburyport and its Resiliency Committee are dedicated to fostering a transparent and inclusive process that empowers you to take meaningful action against the challenges posed by climate change.

This initiative is supported by the Massachusetts’ Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs’ Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness (MVP) Action Grant.

We hope you join us and your neighbors in this vital discussion. Together, we can make a difference.
