Background:
|
Milwaukee Public Schools has collaborated with the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District and the City of Milwaukee to further advance the school district’s sustainability initiatives through a $265,000 partnership funding grant for green infrastructure projects at the following five school sites:
• Academia de Lenguaje y Bellas Artes (ALBA) - 1712
S. 32nd St.
• Lynde and Harry Bradley Technology and Trade
School - 700 S. 4th St.
• Escuela Vieau - 823 S. 4th St.
• Lincoln Avenue School - 1817 W. Lincoln Ave.
• Rufus King International High School - 1801 W. Olive
St.
The funding agreements state that upon completion of these green infrastructure projects an 11-year limited-term conservation easement will 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, permeable pavers, new tree plantings, and additional green space. More than 43,000 square feet of outdoor space has been positively impacted by these efforts, which not only provide a direct benefit to the environment, but also create additional opportunities for students to learn about advancing sustainability efforts through the implementation of green infrastructure.
