Background:
|
Milwaukee Public Schools has collaborated with the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District and the City of Milwaukee to further advance the district’s sustainability initiatives through $1,150,666.00 in partnership funding grants for green infrastructure projects at the following five school sites:
• Franklin – 2308 W. Nash Street
• Hawthorne – 6945 N. 41ST Street
• Hayes Bilingual – 971 W. Windlake Avenue
• Neeskara – 1601 N. Hawley Road
• Zablocki – 1016 W. Oklahoma Avenue
The funding agreements indicate that upon completion of these green infrastructure projects that an 11-year limited term conservation easement be executed for each site in order to ensure the new green space is adequately maintained and protected. These projects have resulted in improved stormwater management through the installation of bioswales, underground cisterns, native plants, new tree plantings, and additional green space. These efforts provide a direct benefit to the environment and create additional opportunities for MPS students to learn about advancing sustainability efforts through the implementation of green infrastructure.
