The Chesapeake Bay Trust is seeking applications for its Green Streets, Green Jobs, Green Towns (G3) Grant Program to support the design and implementation of green streets, community greening, and urban tree canopy projects that enhance livability in cities and communities.
The goal of this grant program is to help communities develop and implement plans that reduce stormwater runoff, increase the number and amount of green spaces in urban areas, improve the health of local waters and the Chesapeake Bay, and enhance quality of life and community livability.

This program can support projects within the Chesapeake Bay watershed portion of EPA Region III. This includes the entire state of Maryland and portions of Delaware, Pennsylvania, Washington D.C., West Virginia, and Virginia.
