The Center for Resilient Metro-Region (CRM) supports communities doing sustainability, resilience, and climate-related planning and implementation.
We aim to improve resilience while identifying and achieving community goals. We want all communities, regardless of the challenges, to thrive. We believe that climate resilience, place making and livable cities, public health, justice, and economic development can be mutually supportive goals and support our most vulnerable populations.
The Center for Resilient Metro-Regions specializes in all types of sustainability, resilience, and climate planning, in addition to our broader strategic planning expertise.
Sustainability, resilience, and climate action and master plans (including MVP 2.0 planning)
Planning work and project management on implementation (including MVP Action Grants)
Regulatory analysis bylaw/ordinance drafting
As with all of our work, as a subdivision of state government municipal procurement from CRM is exempt from MGL Chapter 30B Procurement (Section 1 (3) and 1 (4)).
