Protecting Our Shoreline

A public meeting was held on November 17, 2015 with the engineers who are developing a plan to protect Mahone Bay against Flooding and Sea Level Rise. It was great to hear from residents of Mahone Bay and the engineers will take that public feedback into consideration when they develop their final engineering plan.

A public meeting was held to hear the opinions and observations of residents at the start of the project, the meeting on November 17th was for residents to see the draft plans and options developed by the engineering team, and a third public meeting will be held when the final project is complete so that the engineers can present the final plans to the residents and taxpayers of Mahone Bay.
