 The Long Island Sound (LIS) Resilience Planning Support Program is now OPEN! Deadline to apply is February 7, 2025 Up to $1 million will be available. To learn more, see the Request for Expressions of Interest here. We encourage you to reach out to the Sustainable & Resilient Communities (SRC) contact in your region before applying! The Program provides planning support to advance climate resilience-focused projects by matching communities within the Long Island Sound (LIS) Coastal Boundary across New York and Connecticut with qualified contractors to assist with assessing local climate risks, conceptualizing project ideas, and conducting preliminary planning efforts. The support is provided at no cost to the communities and no match is required! Fifteen projects—10 in NY and five in CT—are being supported through the first round of the program. The 15 projects include climate vulnerability assessments and resilience plans, watershed-based conservation plans, natural resource inventories, conceptual designs for flood mitigation opportunities and landscape design plans. You can find information about the projects supported through the first round here. |
