The Commonwealth of Massachusetts offers a program that provides support to cities and towns in the state to begin the process of planning for climate change resiliency and implementing priority projects. It is called the Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness or MVP Program. Cities and towns that achieve designation as an MVP community are eligible for funding for implementation of actions to improve their climate resiliency.
The Cape Cod Commission is a certified MVP provider, and along with the Cape Cod Cooperative Extension and Woods Hole Sea Grant has helped a number of Cape Cod towns achieve designation as an MVP community, including the Town of Harwich.
In this episode, we talk with Cape Cod Commission Chief Planner Chloe Schaefer and Town of Harwich Planner Charleen Greenhalgh to discuss this important program and learn how it’s helping Cape Cod towns prepare for the impacts of climate change.
