The city’s consultant and sustainability team will present the assessment’s final results at a community meeting and public hearing Sept. 16 at the Clearwater Work Session, which starts at 1:30 p.m., in Clearwater Council Chambers at the Main Library, 100 N. Osceola Ave. The meeting also will be broadcasted live on YouTube.com/MyClearwater and on streaming video feature of our website.

The consulting firm, AtkinsRéalis, has created a “digital twin” of Clearwater to test vital community elements – including the natural, built and social environments – against several projected climate impacts, most notably flooding and heat. The consultant worked within a multi-disciplinary technical advisory committee that involved regional partners.

The project will result in a resilience report that will include project findings and serve as the basis to guide capital project investments, assist with the planning of a future Climate Action Plan and identify alternatives that support social justice and cost-beneficial objectives of the city. 

This assessment, which started in October 2022, was funded by the State of Florida’s Resilient Florida Grant Program. Preliminary results were presented March 20, 2024.
