2025 Green Infrastructure Partnership Program

MMSD's Green Infrastructure Vision

Green infrastructure projects in our community align with MMSD's 2035 Vision and Strategic Objectives; our long-range goal is to eliminate sewer overflows, improve water quality, and incorporate a sustainable approach to operations. Projects funded through the GIPP support the MMSD's Regional Green Infrastructure Plan, Urban Biodiversity Plan, and Resilience Plan.

MMSD's interest in green infrastructure is to increase the implementation of innovative approaches to wet weather management that is cost-effective, sustainable, and environmentally friendly. Green infrastructure management approaches and technologies infiltrate, capture, and reuse stormwater to maintain, restore, or mimic natural processes to reduce water pollution.

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