Meriden HUB Tour – June 21, 2017

As part of an ambitious flood mitigation project, the City of Meriden unearthed a once-hidden stretch of Harbor Brook that passes through its downtown.  Combining flood mitigation and economic revitalization, a key aspect of the project was the creation of the Meriden Green, a new urban park located near the Meriden Transit Center that doubles as a flood storage facility.

CAFM held a morning tour of the Meriden Green and the related flood mitigation components at 10:00 AM on June 21, 2017, followed by a picnic lunch.  The tour was performed by Mr. Bob Bass, P.E., Public Works Director of the City of Meriden.  Approximately 20 CAFM Members and other interested parties attended.
