Council Member Lincoln Restler inquires about how the site addresses climate resiliency concerns, given its location on the Williams River Waterfront. Nebil Gokcebay, an architect from Marvel Architects, provides a detailed explanation of the measures in place.

• The site has a significant grade change between Kent Avenue and the waterfront, acting as a natural buffer
• Building openings are raised above flood elevation
• The garage entrance, the only potential vulnerability, will be protected with conventional dryproofing measures
• The design takes into account potential flooding events and incorporates mitigation strategies
