2024 Green Infrastructure
Webinar
In 2021, NBEP awarded $649,000 to support green infrastructure planning and capacity-building projects for municipalities, local organizations, and universities across Rhode Island and Massachusetts. These green infrastructure projects align natural and engineering processes to improve water quality and reduce flooding while offering a range of co-benefits, including climate resilience, wildlife habitat, public health, and other socioeconomic and community enhancements.
