MMSD invites both public, not-for-profit, and private sector organizations who plan to install Green Infrastructure (GI) strategies on their property within eligible municipalities, to submit applications for partnership funding through our 2023 Green Infrastructure Partnership Program.

The Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District (MMSD), City as Living Laboratory/WaterMarks MKE, Sixteenth Street Community Health Center, and ArtWorks for Milwaukee partnered to create murals around two storm drains on Milwaukee’s south side. This partnership helped creatively connect the community to our waterways.

Our climate is changing. MMSD’s executive director, Kevin Shafer, believes that there are actions that can be taken locally to help us do our part to address this issue. These actions can also help us reduce our risk of flooding, improve our health, and reduce our long-term costs.

Utilizing alternative land management practices, Kettle Moraine Grazing LLC, sustainably meets vegetation management goals by using goats to remove invasive species on MMSD flood management properties.
