Citizens don’t need to be environmental scientists to weigh in on potential impacts of climate change on infrastructure, natural resources and local services. So, Standish, in collaboration with Greater Portland Council of Governments, is offering a survey on the town’s website to better prepare the community for future climate change events. Other towns included in the study are Bridgton, Gray, Westbrook and Windham. The technical analysis will identify areas of potential concern, such as roadways located in “high flood-risk zones, and highlight where future planning and investment may be most needed.”
