Ossining Shoreline Revitalization Project

How will the project include Ossining’s diverse voices?

Historically, communities of color and low-income residents have often not been included in developing projects and are often disproportionately impacted by environmental burdens. These communities will be prioritized throughout the process to promote an equitable process and design which aligns with New York State’s Environmental Justice initiatives.

By partnering with local community organizations, translating materials, and prioritizing low-tech channels to share input, the project hopes to minimize the barriers to share input and encourage input from Ossining’s diverse voices.

We acknowledge there is continued work be done to promote diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice. If you have additional suggestions for how this project can reach your community, please fill out the contact form below to share ideas for considerations.
