The City of Lynn, in partnership with the Town of Swampscott and the Lynn Water and Sewer Commission, is advancing a watershed-wide effort to better understand and address flooding, stormwater, and water quality challenges in the Stacey's Brook watershed. The project will use field investigations, temporary water-level monitoring, and watershed modeling to evaluate current and future flood risks, identify drainage constraints, and assess opportunities for nature-based solutions, green infrastructure, upstream flood storage, and potential infrastructure improvements. Up to four priority sites will be advanced to conceptual design, including preliminary layouts and renderings.
Community participation will be an important part of the project. Residents will be invited to share their experiences and identify areas of concern through a community flooding survey, public workshop, and educational site visit. This input, together with the project’s technical findings, will inform a publicly accessible Stacey's Brook Resilient Stormwater Management and Implementation Plan that will help guide future investments reduce flooding, improve water quality, strengthen climate resilience, and support healthier conditions at King's Beach and throughout the watershed.
