Join us on August 5 at Grand Valley State University’s Eberhard Center in Grand Rapids for the  West Michigan regional Green Infrastructure Conference. This conference expands on the 2014 statewide conference to highlight a broad range of benefits and opportunities provided by Green Infrastructure (GI) planning and preservation in northern Michigan. Find out how GI is already being used in the region, and how working together through partnerships can make GI a success in your own area.

Conference Highlights

Along with two plenary sessions, this conference will include concurrent sessions in three tracks: Finance and Policy, Stormwater and Flood Management, and Infrastructure at the Regional Scale.Optional pre-conference activities on August 4 include an evening networking event with vendors at the Eberhard Center and three sponsored field trips: Grand Rapids Green Infrastructure Tour; Holland Green Infrastructure Tour; and Muskegon—Lakeshore Trail Green Infrastructure Bicycle Tour.
