Green Grants
*NOW ACCEPTING GREEN GRANTS APPLICATIONS*
What is Green Grants?
The City's Stormwater Division 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
Objectives:
- To increase water quality of Chattanooga's local waterways by focusing efforts on existing sites that currently have no water quality control measures
- To foster community stewardship and enthusiasm for green infrastructure
- To spark interest of property owners to invest in green infrastructure retrofits
Eligibility:
- Green Grants is available to property owners of privately owned commercial, industrial, institutional, or multi-family residential properties within Chattanooga City limits
- City staff will evaluate applications. Projects will be evaluated based on criteria listed in the Green Grants program outline
- Government and government-required projects are not eligible to participate in this program
