February 20, 2026 For Immediate Release
Flood Mitigation Project Scope Updated
The Make Cambridge Resilient Design Team announces that the scope of the ongoing flood mitigation project has been modified to better align with the City’s municipal boundaries. The February 24th 60% Design Public Meeting has been cancelled and will be rescheduled later this spring, following completion of the design modifications.
Under the revised design, all proposed work will be restricted to properties within the City’s municipal limits. Properties outside the City’s boundaries are not included in the project and will not be affected by any of the planned flood risk reduction.
Specifically, properties located in Dorchester County that fall outside of the City’s municipal limits are no longer part of the project area and will not be involved in the project’s implementation.
The updated scope ensures that project resources remain focused within the City’s jurisdiction while continuing to advance flood mitigation efforts for affected areas within municipal boundaries. Project designers are currently working to implement the necessary design modifications, taking advantage of natural site features that enhance flood protection within City limits.
The Make Cambridge Resilient Team will continue outreach to affected property owners to gather feedback specific to these design updates.
The Make Cambridge Resilient Project Team appreciates your patience and understanding as they work through the design updates and ongoing outreach process. Residents with questions about property inclusion or project boundaries are encouraged to contact the Project Manager, Larry White for additional information at lawhitepe@aol.com.
