Community conversations have already begun about flood mitigation measures that could lessen the impact of future floods on Waterbury and the surrounding communities.
Ahead of the July 29 Waterbury Select Board meeting to discuss potential projects that could be funded through federal grants, we share a collection of aerial photos captured on the morning of July 11 by photographer Gordon Miller.
The images show the extent of flooding along the Winooski River in Waterbury and Duxbury, the low-lying Randall, Elm, Union street and Armory Drive neighborhoods, the State Office Complex and River Road.
We hope these photos will help inform the discussions as they move ahead.
Monday’s special Select Board meeting is at 7 p.m. upstairs at the Main Street fire station. The public can also join via Zoom with a link on the agenda.
