Green Streets - Green Neighborhoods

Through Green Streets - Green Neighborhoods, WMG works with neighborhoods, homeowners' associations, businesses, institutions, and informal community groups to promote and install green infrastructure practices to improve community livability. Our program provides citizens with the skills and resources to problem-solve and take action on issues of flooding, stormwater pollution, urban heat island effect, alternative transportation, and neighborhood beautification in their own neighborhoods.
