Councilor duties called this afternoon where I took my lunch break to attend Secretary Kathleen Theoharides Roundtable listening session at the Montachusett Regional Planning Commission. She is the Secretary of the Energy and Environmental Affairs under Governor Charlie Baker administration.
Discussing Fitchburg's $100k grant and State goals under the Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness Program.
Our new DPW Director attended and spoke succinctly about Fitchburgs Storm and Climate change related challenges in the roundtable conveying our specific issues very well; Challenging Environmental Permiting, Our Combined Sewer Separation work, Water Bans for Fitchburg doe to a low Nashua river when we actually have an abundance of water, Ms4 program compliance and our wintertime warming causing significant snowstorms and icing damaging our roads further and faster than normal!
A breadth of great info from MRPC and surrounding towns representatives as well as to their issues and Hope's for this program.
