EPA to help towns adapt to flooding

Two Massachusetts communities have been chosen to receive help from the Environmental Protection Agency in finding ways to become more resilient to flooding.

Scituate and Newburyport were chosen to receive EPA technical assistance through the agency's "Building Blocks for Sustainable Communities" program. The projects will involve a team of EPA-led experts and will include the public in workshops.

Scituate Town Administrator Patricia Vinchesi said the town is significantly affected by coastal storms that tax its infrastructure, residents and resources. Newburyport Mayor Donna Holaday said the town has increasingly experienced severe flooding and coastal erosion during storms.
