DLCD is Seeking Members for an Advisory Committee on Community Green Infrastructure Investment
Applications will be accepted through Sunday, April 28, 2024.
In 2023, the Oregon Legislature created the Community Green Infrastructure Grant Program and put $6.5 million into a fund administered by the Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD). Green infrastructure is infrastructure that includes or mimics natural systems, such as urban green space, parks, rain gardens, bioswales and trees. It provides a wide array of social, environmental, and economic benefits.
The program will award grants in four categories:
- Planning and developing community Green Infrastructure Projects
- Planning and developing Community Green Infrastructure Economic Development Projects, which are Green Infrastructure Projects that employ members of a community that benefits from the project
- Developing or supporting native seed banks or native plant nurseries
- Supporting and implementing green infrastructure master plans
DLCD is seeking members for an Advisory Committee on Community Green Infrastructure Investment to advise on the implementation of the Community Green Infrastructure Grant program and make biennial reports to the legislature on the program.

Committee Meetings
The committee will meet virtually starting in May 2024. Meetings will generally last between one and two hours. The committee will meet more frequently during the spring, likely bi-weekly. Meetings will become less frequent as the program is implemented, moving to monthly and then quarterly by fall of 2024.

If you’re not interested in being on the committee yourself, please help us by forwarding this announcement to anyone who might be interested.
