The Southern Middlesex Flood Mitigation and Resiliency Study is gathering input on flooding from residents to ensure local flooding areas are included in the study. Spotswood is one of ten communities that have been chosen, along with North Brunswick, South Brunswick, Helmetta, Monroe, Cranbury, Jamesburg, Milltown, East Brunswick and Plainsboro.
In addition to community input, the study includes:
• A detailed flood risk assessment
• A technical analysis of the major causes of flooding
• A comprehensive cost and funding analysis
• Feasibility studies
• Recommended strategies
• Concept designs for municipalities
The goal is to move from reacting to storm damage after the fact to developing strategies and prioritized actions that communities can proactively implement to help protect homes, businesses, and roads from floods and create more resilient neighborhoods.
If you've experienced recurring roadway flooding, stormwater backups, property damage, or other flood-related impacts, please take a few minutes to share your experience.
