NYS EFC Green Resiliency Grants

This competitive grant program through the NYS Environmental Facilities Cooperation is designed to support flood-prone communities in implementing transformative green infrastructure projects that combat the effects of extreme weather. Eligible projects must utilize green infrastructure (GI) stormwater management practices (SMPs) and/or nature-based solutions to manage combined and/or sanitary sewer overflows and/or mitigate risks associated with extreme weather events.

Additional Information:
GRG projects must be capable of capturing, treating, or increasing the time of concentration for a minimum of 2,500 cubic feet of stormwater per 90thpercentile rainfall event within a clearly defined drainage area1 that contributes to a specific water quality or quantity concern. Projects must demonstrate a concentrated impact on a singular drainage system. Proposals combining multiple, unconnected drainage areas should be submitted as separate applications. Applicants must have an ownership interest in the project site and have the right to access, operate, and maintain the project for its useful life.

Funding Agencies: NYS Environmental Facilities Corporation (EFC)
