GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE for New Hampshire coastal watershed communities
The Green Infrastructure Program will create a framework of technical and educational resources to build resilience and municipal capacity in coastal watershed communities.
More information can be found at the Green Infrastructure website.
Hello Coastal Watershed Municipalities and Stakeholders:
The Green Infrastructure Project Team is seeking applications from Coastal Watershed communities that have recognized the importance of local stormwater control, and are interested in being community leaders in Green Infrastructure implementation. The project team will work with selected communities towards achieving a comprehensive municipal strategy that will aid in federal and state permit compliance, improve water quality, and reduce local flooding.
In Phase II of this project, we will work with several communities to implement a variety of Green Infrastructure strategies including a combination of high impact, high-visibility demonstration projects; and non-structural elements such as preparation of new/revised stormwater ordinances or regulations; and community outreach and engagement.
If your community is interested in applying for the Phase II implementation cycle, please complete the attached Application Form. Additional information is included in the attached Instructions document.
Applications must be received by November 5, 2013.
Submissions may be mailed or emailed.
