2025 Green Infrastructure Partnership Program Awards Announced

MMSD's Green Infrastructure Vision

Green infrastructure projects are consistent with MMSD's 2035 Vision and Strategic Objectives. Our long-range goal is to eliminate sewer overflows, improve water quality, and incorporate an overall triple-bottom-line sustainable approach to operations. Projects funded through the GIPP support the implementation of the MMSD's Regional Green Infrastructure Plan (RGIP) (2013),​​​​​Urban Biodiversity Plan (2018), and Resilience Plan (2019).

MMSD's investment in green infrastructure is to increase the implementation of innovative approaches to wet weather management that are cost-effective, sustainable, and environmentally friendly. Green infrastructure management approaches and technologies infiltrate, capture, and reuse stormwater to maintain, restore, or mimic nature by draining it into the ground to reduce water pollution.

Projects should seek to demonstrate a connection or relationship to the purpose and function of other MMSD flood management and green infrastructure efforts.
