In Norfolk, Virginia, the Ohio Creek watershed project is addressing the high-tide flooding, storm flooding and shoreline erosion in predominantly Black neighborhoods that include a public housing development as well as many homes on the National Historic Register. The project is an example of a climate resilience project combining strong leadership from the local government, community involvement, federal and non-profit investment, world class climate information from the federal and academic science community, and private sector expertise.
