Town of Lyons Featured in “Road to Resilience” Series

The Town of Lyons was featured in a short video by the Rockefeller Foundation, which focused on the Town’s need for affordable housing after the 2013 floods. The Foundation released a series of videos about five different communities that were eligible for the National Disaster Resilience Competition. Unfortunately, though Colorado made it to the second round, funding was ultimately not awarded to the state.

It's been three years since the flood, and there is still a lot of work to be done. Thank you to everyone who is involved in this long road to recovery that we are all on together - those funding the efforts (including the Coalitions, like the SVCC), those involved the different aspects of flood recovery work, and especially those stakeholders and landowners who experienced floods and continue to contribute to the work going on today to ensure a more resilient future.

The SVCC will be hosting our 2nd Annual Flood Recovery Bus Tour on September 29. Join us for this free event learn more about some of the projects that have be completed or are in progress in the St. Vrain. http://www.saintvraincreekcoalition.org/top-slideshow/svccbustour/
