DOEE seeks eligible entities for projects that implement a participatory planning and design process to identify community-identified green infrastructure (GI) benefits for Stormwater Retention Credit (SRC)-generating projects. A grantee will help one or more communities develop best practices for identifying their desired green infrastructure benefits. These grants may also fund the installation of additional elements to existing or planned SRC-generating green infrastructure to provide community-identified GI benefits. GI practices provide many environmental and economic benefits and protect against the harmful impacts of stormwater runoff. The amount available for the project is a total of $70,095, available in grant amounts of no more than $40,000.
