Native Planting and/or Stormwater Retrofits:

A year-round min-grant opportunity exists in the form of a cost share program in which the Town will match the cost of a project, up to $5,000, specifically for projects that promote water quality and habitat creation. Proposed projects must provide native habitat, bayscapes, landscaping bioretention, and/or reduction of impervious surface with pavers, rooftop disconnect, drywells, or a combination of Best Management Practices. New technologies or management approaches should be included that protect the habitat and water quality and restore natural areas or experiment with a new field management technique for controlling, preventing, or abating impacts.
