BRPC is working alongside the City of North Adams and community partners such as Hoosic River Revival, Northern Berkshires Community Coalition, and Trout Unlimited to address flood risk. This project dedicates engineering funds toward the removal of the Beaver Mill Dam and upgrades to stormwater infrastructure in four areas of the City that were most impacted by the July 2023 storms. It also expands BRPC’s program, Gray to Green, into North Adams. In collaboration with Gray to Green, BRPC will be working with community partners to help identify and design placemaking efforts along the Hoosic River parallel to the ongoing Flood Chutes Feasibility Study headed up by the US Army Corps of Engineers.
