Hazard Mitigation Plan Municipal Vulnerability Plan
with Commonwealth Municipal Consultants, LLC
In 2016, Governor Charlie Baker signed Executive Order 569, mandating the Commonwealth support climate resilience planning at the local level. In April 2017, the Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness (MVP) planning grant program was launched by the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs (EEA). Completion of the Community Resilience Building process enables designation of towns as “MVP Communities” and offers preference in future state grants.
In 2022, Hinsdale applied and was awarded a grant to pursue the designation requirements. Pursuant to the requirement of the grant, Hinsdale selected an MVP-approved vendor, Commonwealth Municipal Consulting (CMC), to support the Town in completing the planning process.
