Convened by MyRWA and 10 Mystic River watershed communities in September 2018 and now led by senior staff from 20 cities and towns and nongovernmental partners, the RMC focuses on managing flooding and extreme heat on a regional scale and increasing the resilience of our most vulnerable residents and workers to extreme weather. Collectively, RMC communities have secured nearly $57 million for climate resilient projects in the Mystic River watershed, with the goal of securing an additional $100 million in public funding over the next three years. “The Mystic River watershed needs to take collective and significant action to prepare for a stormier, hotter, and less predictable climate future,” said MyRWA Executive Director Patrick Herron. “This funding enables our communities to achieve outsized public benefi ts and make progress on our goals of climate equity in the watershed.” “We are pleased to be able to make this investment in the work of the RMC,” said Barr Foundation Senior Program Offi cer Kalila Barnett. “Their focus on closing climate equity gaps across especially race and income, and commitment to centering the needs and aspirations of people most aff ected by their eff orts really align with our values.” “Because of COVID, many more people now understand what GreenRoots has been fi ghting for since its founding, to ensure that people in historically disinvested communities have the same ability to deal with challenges like climate change as people in wealthy communities,” said GreenRoots’ Waterfront and Climate Justice Initiatives Director, John Walkey. “As a co-founder of the RMC, I’m glad to see us work to eff ectively focus scarce public resources ANGELO’S FULL SERVICE 1978-2023 Celebrating 45 Years in Business!
