PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM

This program will offer assistance to residential and non-residential Greenwood Stormwater customers in order to stimulate investment and utilization of Stormwater best management practices that reduce a parcel's contribution of stormwater to the City's storm sewer and surrounding waterways. The Partnership Program will provide incentives to financially assist both residential and non-residential property owners who desire to build green stormwater infrastructure to manage private property runoff. 

PROJECTS ELIGIBLE FOR ASSISTANCE:

  • Private Retention Pond Improvements

    Pictured Above Pond located on Worthsville Rd and I-65 exit. The pond bank is covered in native vegetation to deter fowl and prevent erosion.

  • Mutual Drain Improvements

  • Removal of Impervious Surface

    Pictured Above The Stormwater Department partnered with FEMA to purchase houses located in the floodway to demolish and use as green space.

  • Construction of Water Quality BMP's

F.A.Q.

  • Projects will be evaluated based upon a variety of criteria including, but not limited to, the total volume of runoff managed, per the current standards of the Greenwood Stormwater Technical Manual, the water quality benefits as detailed in the Technical Manual, and the ability of the recipient to leverage other funding sources. All funded projects will be required to file a deed restriction in the form of an Access, Operations, and Maintenance Agreement for the property. The BMP shall be subject to the City's annual inspection of the structure.

    The Department encourages applicants to be creative and to Think Green! We are looking specifically for properties that effect more than one residential property and can provide insight to the department through said installed BMPs.

    1. Established Homeowners' Associations, Community Group and/or other organizations that meet the State of Indiana's definition of a corporate entity.

    2. Private Property owners who own the entire parcel where the improvements are to be made.

    3. Not-for-profit and educational institutions.

  • Applications must be submitted electronically to the Stormwater Department. Once received, Applicants will be notified of the status of their application in 30 days.

    A member of the Stormwater Department and Community Development Services will recommend projects for approval. The Stormwater Management Board will make the final selection. Selected non-residential recipients may be eligible to receive Stormwater Quality Credits, Stormwater Quantity Credits, Retrofit Credits or Education Credits in addition to incentives if the project qualifies. These credits will be applied toward monthly Stormwater service charges upon successful construction of the Stormwater Project pursuant to Greenwood Municipal Code Sec. 9-192 and the City of Greenwood Credit Manual.
