Cambridge Launches Storm Stewards Volunteer Program
This new program is aimed at protecting the health of our local rivers and reducing street flooding. Residents and business owners are encouraged to participate by claiming a storm drain in their neighborhood and keeping it clear of debris, particularly ahead of rain events. With 5,800 City owned storm drains in Cambridge, the task of maintaining them is substantial. City crews work diligently to clear storm drains before and after storms, but this task can be completed more quickly with community assistance.
Arts & Economic Impact
The City of Cambridge, in partnership with Americans for the Arts, is undergoing a study to understand the economic impact of the local arts and cultural programming. More information regarding the survey efforts to come.
