There will be a public meeting with discussion about the Pemberwick Park drainage area project on November 9 at 5:00pm at the Greenwich Town Hall Cone room, 101 Field Point Road.

Following the impacts of Tropical Storm Ida, the Town of Greenwich Department of Public Works began a review of several areas in Town to explore alternatives to reduce the impacts of future storms. It was determined one area of Town that required further study was the Pemberwick Park drainage area.
