BALANCE RESILIENCE AND REDEVELOPMENT IMPLEMENTATION PLAN

Short–term 0-4 years

 Evaluate vulnerabilities on the west side of Main St, and north and south of current project area

 Targeted outreach to property owners most vulnerable to flooding on the south side of Main Street

 Identify commercial relocation sites for business

 Floodproof green buildings and feasible yellow buildings not amenable to voluntary buyout

 Design/Permitting of Sponge Park Phase I, including a vegetated berm at elevation 8.6

 Adopt a design guide for future redevelopment

Mid-term 4-7 years

 Acquire and re-develop red properties. Redeveloped buildings will be set back from Main St and elevated by hybrid of mounded earth, piles, and/or dry floodproofing

 Provide a floodable pavilion, which can serve as a farmer’s market, modular retail, or event center, as an anchor at the park.

 Construct expanded Sponge Park Phase I

Mid-term 10-20 years

 Assess previous adaptations and continue to reevaluate the plan

 As floodproofed structures end useful life, redevelop with a hybrid setback, mounded grade, pile, and/or dry floodproofing

 Sponge Park Phase II – Increase the elevation of Sponge park vegetated edge where site constraints allow

Long-term 20+ years

 Assess previous adaptations and continue to reevaluate plan

 Elevate Main St (coordinate with bridge replacement)
