Building a Resilient Middlesex: Community Forum
Tuesday, October 13, 2026 · 6:00–8:30 p.m.
Middlesex Town Hall, 5 Church Street — and on Zoom
Pizza and refreshments served at 6:00 p.m.
The Middlesex Planning Commission invites you to a community forum on building a more resilient future for Middlesex. The evening is the public kickoff of a year-long planning study, funded by a Municipal Planning Grant, focused on the Great Brook, flood resilience, community preparedness, and flexible housing.
This is a working meeting, not a presentation to sit through. After the panel, there will be small-group discussion, in person, where the questions are genuinely open: how do we keep people and property out of harm’s way, how do we encourage safe and affordable housing, and where are the opportunities? What comes out of those groups shapes what the study looks at.
Go here for more information, an online survey, and to register.
