The Department of Energy & Environment (DOEE) seeks eligible entities to increase the benefits that District Stormwater Retention Credit (SRC) – generating green infrastructure (GI) provides to property owners, nearby residents, and other stakeholders, with a focus on historically marginalized communities and communities that face historical or current environmental injustices.
These grants will fund projects that implement a participatory planning and design process to identify community-identified green infrastructure benefits, in addition to stormwater runoff reduction, and develop best practices for future engagement with communities towards identifying their desired green infrastructure benefits. These grants may also fund installation of additional green infrastructure elements to existing or planned SRC-generating green infrastructure to provide community-identified GI benefits.
