2022 Open Space Plan 

Protecting open space is a long term endeavor that is embarked upon because this is how we maintain the valued natural attributes of Greenwich. The 2022 Open Space Plan directly identifies pertinent traits associated with desirable open space and the 133 parcels that meet these criteria. The plan also outlines potential strategies to acquire protection of the land. Success of this plan will be determined by the collaboration of the Town’s conservation, parks, planning, and financial stewardship commissions, and the Representative Town Meeting.

Coastal Resiliency Assessment 

The Town of Greenwich, Connecticut engaged in the Greenwich Coastal Resiliency Assessment motivated by the desire to assess its town-owned facilities and infrastructure vulnerabilities, assess vulnerability to septic systems, and expand its ability to address hazards caused by coastal flooding and sea level rise (SLR). The goal of this assessment was to review the vulnerabilities from coastal flooding and use that data to guide future priorities. The assessment provided Town officials additional understanding of the anticipated changes from a changing climate and how best to support that transition to retain the value of ecological and community assets.
