*NOW ACCEPTING GREEN GRANTS APPLICATIONS*

What is Green Grants?

The City's Water Quality Program (WQP) 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
