How is the Town working with the federal government to improve the flooding issues in our inlets?
The Town has recently requested that local Federal and State elected officials make dredging of the inlets along the south shore a priority using stimulus money. Dredging is an excavation activity in shallow seas or fresh water areas with the purpose of gathering bottom sediments and disposing them at a different location. Dredging the inlets would serve to remediate contaminants that are in our inlets as a result of stormwater surges.
