West Haven Coastal Resilience Tour

October 2 @ 9:30am – 2:30pm

Join us on a tour to learn first-hand how the City of West Haven is enhancing its coastal resilience on several fronts. We’ll start the day with presentations from the City Engineer, Land Trust of West Haven, and engineering firms that will highlight the history, funding strategy, and progression of each project. We’ll then hop on a shuttle bus to tour project sites that are completed, in progress, or planned for the future, including the West Haven Eco Park, Beach Street Elevation, Cove River Tidal Marsh Restoration, Resilient Cove River Project, and additional stops along the way! You will have the opportunity to hear about challenges and discuss lessons learned directly with other practitioners. 

Register here by Tuesday, September 29th to secure your spot!
