The Borough of Riverton recently took part in a Route 130 Corridor Climate Change-Related Hazard Vulnerability Assessment (CCRHVA). This project was coordinated by Burlington County and funded by a grant from the NJDEP through their Resilient NJ Program. As the County explains, "a CCRHVA is a planning document that focuses on hazards such as sea level rise, heat, and other climate-related hazards impacting our community. New Jersey requires each municipality to incorporate a CCRHVA into any new land use plan element of the municipal master plan. Developing a CCRHVA will lay the groundwork to meet the requirements of the State’s Municipal Land Use Law (MLUL)." Thank you to everyone who provided input on this document! If you want to get more involved with environmental or planning issues in Riverton, please attend the next Environmental Commission and Green Team Meeting or a Planning Board Meeting.
