Groton Conservation Advocates members met with Mayor Granatosky early in 2019 to request that a new committee on climate resiliency be established to review the town’s earlier (2014) resiliency work, access updated research and information from CIRCA and CT DEEP, and use such to advise the town as to what the impacts of climate change are likely to be and ways in which the town could act to mitigate them. On February 20, 2019, the Town Council acted to create the Groton Resiliency and Sustainability Task Force, and five citizens from the town were appointed to the Task Force in March: Frank Bohlen, Sarah Kelly, Jessie Stratton, Zell Steever and Victor Villagra. The Groton Resilience and Sustainability Task Force held its first meeting on April 24, 2019. Zell Steever was appointed president by Mayor Granatosky.
