In the wake of devastating floods in both 2023 and 2024, the Town of Plainfield invited VCRD to facilitate a process to bring together the full diversity of Plainfield residents, organizations, business owners and partners in an open, inclusive dialogue to build connections, and identify actions for recovery and future efforts. The three-part process, facilitated by VCRD, will identify actions and resources and launch task force groups to take on actions for the immediate and long-term future of the town and village. VCRD provides the overall structure and neutral facilitation each step of the way. Two priority groups were identified:
- Create a Housing Strategy
- Build a Resilience Hub
