Hopkinton Community Led Resilient Lands Initiative
The Town of Hopkinton has launched the Community-led Resilient Land Initiative. This collaborative project focuses on reducing stormwater flooding, preparing for climate impacts, and providing other public health benefits. The project will result in site-designs for two green infrastructure solutions that add natural features to urban spaces. Community members will select two locations, one in Legacy Farms and one along Main Street, and shape elements of each design..
The goals of the project are to:
- Launch a community-led outreach and engagement campaign focused on land stewardship and resilience.
- Co-develop two site designs at locations selected by community members. Design the site plans based on community input to help manage stormwater and reduce heat.
