About this Event

Join us for the Toilsome Brook Walkshop! Toilsome Brook has a long history of flooding, posing a serious hazard to the homes, businesses, and residents in the surrounding neighborhoods. The City of Stamford is developing the Toilsome Brook Flood Resilience Plan to confront this challenge and enhance the community's resilience.
