The NYS Department of State will be hosting its 3rd public engagement sessions for the Coastal Lakeshore Economy and Resiliency Initiative (CLEAR).
CLEAR Public Webinar #3 – Thursday, November 18th, 5:00 pm (Zoom)
Live presentation and discussion on the Coastal Lakeshore Economy And Resiliency (CLEAR) initiative. Participants will learn about risk and resilience scenarios for their region and discuss strategies for increasing the resilience of shoreline communities to changing lakeshore conditions. The public can ask questions during the presentation.
Goals of the CLEAR Initiative include:
- Facilitate vibrant communities that can thrive in changing and variable lake levels and conditions.
- Embrace the connectivity of the coastal environment through innovative designs for rebuilding and adaptive uses.
- Instill a deeper understanding and appreciation for the important role shoreline property owners play in their communities’ resilience.
- Identify coastal development patterns that provide continued opportunities for existing and new recreation and employment.
- Empower local governments, organizations, and leaders to protect their communities and create new, more resilient paths
The public engagement is to engage communities in the CLEAR planning process to help conceptualize the potential impacts from future changes and identify opportunities to enhance connections and access to the water while increasing resiliency to potential stressors. Questions can be addressed to OPD@dos.ny.gov
