UConn is responding to a federal grant request requiring engineering designs. The federal sponsor will select awardees and begin negotiations in May 2024. There
is no guarantee of funds at this time. Engineering services are sought to support a green stormwater infrastructure implementation program in Connecticut and New York. The UConn Center for Land Use Education and Research (CLEAR) is proposing a large, 5-year project in New York and Connecticut that will provide communities with recommendations for green stormwater infrastructure retrofits that are focused on improving community resilience to flooding and reducing climate risk, particularly for underserved & vulnerable populations. Through this program, 5 communities per state per year (10 communities total per year) would receive recommendations for retrofits of existing stormwater infrastructure with nature-based practices designed to infiltrate stormwater and reduce stormwater runoff
