Resiliency
Saugus River Watershed
For the communities of Revere, Lynn, Saugus, Malden, and Everett, the impacts of coastal flooding, erosion, and storms are already being felt. Future climate and sea level rise conditions are expected to exacerbate these impacts. The Saugus Pines River Advocacy for Regional Resilience (SPRARR) was established in 2021 to develop a regional plan for future coastal conditions and to build resilience in the area's most vulnerable locations. Join SPRARR for a community update on the Saugus/Pines River Regional Watershed Vulnerability Assessment and Regional Adaption Plan. Stay tuned for future events here
Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness (MVP) Program
The Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness grant program (MVP) provides support for cities and towns in Massachusetts to begin the process of planning for climate change resiliency and implementing priority projects. The State awards communities with funding to complete vulnerability assessments and develop action-oriented resiliency plans. Communities who complete the MVP program become certified as an MVP community and are eligible for MVP Action grant funding and other opportunities. For further information, please contact Elle Baker at (781) 286-8188.
Parks
Open Space and Recreation Plan (OSRP)
The Open Space and Recreation Plan (OSRP) is a comprehensive planning guide regarding the use and development of various open space within Revere including parks, recreational facilities, playgrounds, and green space. The City aims to protect and expand existing open space so that all residents will have abundant opportunity for recreation and access to open space despite financial constraints, dense development, and changing demographics.
The last OSRP that Revere published was for the period 2018-2025. For more information, please contact Elle Baker.
