DESCRIPTION

The selected consultant will conduct research and develop strategies to enhance resilience and managed retreat efforts in Warren, Rhode Island. Responsibilities include identifying sustainable, long-term solutions for transportation asset management and formulating cost-effective measures to address negative impacts from sea-level fluctuations and relative elevations.
