The City's Stormwater Management Program has created the Green Grants Program for property owners who seek to improve water quality and/or go beyond their Stay-on-Volume (SOV) requirement for a green infrastructure (GI) redevelopment or retrofit project.

The grant will provide businesses, institutions and other non-single family residential customers partial funding for the design and construction of green infrastructure projects on private properties.

Some examples of green infrastructure are, but are not limited to:

  • Bioretention
  • Pervious Pavement
  • Green Roofs
  • Tree Trenches/boxes 
  • Reduced Impervious Surfaces
  • Capture and Reuse
  • Naturalized Basins
