An Overview of the History, Roles, Operations, and Future Directions of the Miami Conservancy District

MOUND MUSEUM LECTURE SERIES SPOTLIGHTS

The mission of Miami Conservancy District (MCD) is to protect lives, property and economic vitality within the Great Miami River Watershed. The impact of extreme weather and the challenges ahead require strategic planning and action to strengthen and modernize the MCD’s systems that protect and serve local communities. One crucial step is an update of how MCD manages more than 6,700 acres of land. MCD will share what has worked well over the past 100 years, and the strategies and tactics being used to prepare for the next 100 years.
