May 23, 2016On Friday, April 22, Gov. Terry McAuliffe signed a bill during an Earth Day ceremony officially creating the Commonwealth Center for Recurrent Flooding Resiliency, a joint venture of Old Dominion University, the College of William & Mary and the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS).
From News @ODU:
HB903, a bill proposed by Del. Chris Stolle of Virginia Beach, will allow the planned center to proceed. It is envisioned as a one-stop shop for scientific, socioeconomic, legal and policy analyses to build Virginia’s flooding resiliency…
“These institutions will work together to provide critical research, policy and outreach resources,” said McAuliffe, during a short address in the Patrick Henry Building adjacent to the capitol.
