By 2030, Milwaukee will add approximately 36 million gallons of stormwater storage by implementing green infrastructure constructed by an inclusive workforce that is representative of the City's Diversity. This report outlines successful green infrastructure implementation practices, financing mechanisms, and stakeholder outreach strategies. The plan's goals include focusing infrastructure installation in high-priority subbasins, implementing green infrastructure in schoolyards and parking lots, identifying "de-paving" opportunities, and implementing ordinances that require green infrastructure on all major developments.
