Join us virtually on December 9, 2021 at 7p to learn more about the impact of climate change on Princeton and how Princeton is preparing to address climate vulnerabilities through the Commonwealth’s Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness (“MVP”)  grant program.

This event will feature two guest speakers and EAC member Phil Gott:

Phil Gott, EAC Vice-Chair and MVP lead will begin the presentations by speaking on the expected impact of climate changes on Princeton.

With a particular interest in researching nature-based solutions, a foundation in landscape architecture and planning, experience working with engineers on public infrastructure projects, and now working for the Commonwealth, Hillary strives to assist communities to plan for and achieve a more resilient future in our changing climate.

Dani Marini is an Associate Environmental Planner with the Central Massachusetts Regional Planning Commission (CMRPC). Since joining CMRPC in 2020, Dani Marini has led, assisted, or helped author MVP projects in eleven Central Massachusetts communities.
