Tampa Bay Regional Planning Council’s Resilient Ready Tampa Bay won the Best Plan, Report, or Study Award at the 2022 APA Sun Coast Section Awards last week!
Resilient Ready Tampa Bay was a regional technical assistance project that was created to enhance the capacity of Tampa Bay communities to assess, plan for, and adapt to flood impacts through the expanded use of multi-functional green infrastructure systems and resilient site design and construction practices. The Resilient Ready team worked with three local governments to provide technical analyses and design services for their flood-prone study areas. These three case studies exemplify the flood challenges and design opportunities faced by other local governments throughout the Tampa Bay Region, and their adaptation solutions will be translated into regional resources freely available to the Resiliency Coalition members.
