Town to collect comments on FEMA floodplain maps
Jan 14, 2015
Residents will soon get to weigh in on the FEMA floodplain maps, legislation and flood insurance via the town’s website.
Comments will be compiled and forwarded to the Massachusetts Coastal Coalition, representing residents along the coast. The organization will take the information it receives from towns along the coast and get the information to the appropriate governmental offices, said Town Administrator Mike Gagne.
Although the insurance costs are on hold until 2017, Gagne said there are many issues to be discussed before then. He also said FEMA is supposed to release information on town maps early this year.
