Overview
Buffalo Sewer Authority is partnering with Greenprint Partners to provide the Rain Check 2.0 Green Infrastructure Grant Program. The program funds green infrastructure projects on non-profit, mission-driven, and faith-based properties.
Green Infrastructure uses soils and plants to slow down and filter stormwater. This keeps it from overwhelming our sewer system and polluting our water bodies.
