The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 1 awarded a $1,225,150 Cooperative Agreement on October 1, 2023 to the Nantucket Islands Land Bank under the Geographic Programs - Southeast New England Coastal Watershed Restoration Program (CFDA 66.129). The funding will support Phase 1 of a wetland restoration and stormwater system project at Lily Pond Park in the Nantucket Harbor watershed. Key activities include improving the North Liberty Street Park entrance with upgrades to the parking lot, ADA accessible pathways, boardwalk, seating, signage, drainage infrastructure, constructed wetland, landscaping, and wetland restoration. Additionally, the project will expand the existing master planning process to other areas within the watershed to scale up restoration activities. The overall outcomes are expected to improve stormwater management, water quality in local waterbodies, and park accessibility for users.
