The town is starting an initiative designed to equip businesses in Mystic and Groton with simple, low-cost ideas they can use to prepare for flooding.
This summer, Amealia Maynard, the town’s sustainability intern and a recent graduate of the University of Connecticut, is creating a flood preparedness strategy for local businesses under the guidance of the town’s planning department.
Maynard said the project is focused on helping businesses prepare for future flooding and lower the potential cost of damage, as climate change makes flooding worse with sea level rise and storm surge.
