Community Green Infrastructure Program Advisory Committee Members Selected
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.
DLCD sought 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 members have been selected.
