The Town of Shandaken is undertaking a Local Flood Analysis (LFA) for the hamlet of Chichester. The engineering firm carrying out the LFA and supporting the town’s flood committee is SLR Consulting. The studies began in March 2026 and will conclude within a year. You can view the study area here.
This webpage will be used to post announcements and distribute documents to the public.
Public Meetings
Three public meetings are planned to share study results and obtain input from residents.
Public Meeting #1 – Saturday, April 25 at 10:00 am
The first meeting on April 25, at Town Hall will introduce the projects to residents. The town flood committee and SLR will give a brief overview of the LFA process and begin gathering information from residents. Large format maps will be provided for residents to identify their properties and explain flooding issues they have experienced. What are your experiences for flooding? Do you have suggestions? The town and SLR want to hear from you!
