North Shore Tailors Coastal Policies Through Local Revitalization Program
What happened
The Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP) is a long-term plan designed to tailor state coastal policies and local regulations to community priorities in North Shore. Key objectives of the North Shore component include improving public access to the waterfront and strengthening coastal resiliency against flooding, rising sea levels, and bluff erosion. The program is being informed by community input gathered through public workshops.
