Celebrating the Old Essex Road Removal and Marsh Restoration Project in Essex and Ipswich
Kristin shared remarks recognizing the years of collaboration and dedication that made this important restoration effort possible. By removing Old Essex Road and restoring natural tidal flow to the upper Castle Neck River, the project is helping to revitalize a significant portion of the Great Marsh while enhancing the long-term resilience of our coastline.
The Great Marsh is one of our region's most important natural resources, supporting wildlife habitat, fisheries, recreation, and coastal communities. This project demonstrates the value of investing in innovative, science-based solutions that protect both our environment and our economy.
I am grateful to the many partners whose vision, hard work, and commitment helped bring this project to fruition. Congratulations to all involved on reaching this significant milestone.
