Schools Build Support for GSI
• GSI is still new to residents, schools are a great access point
• Schools are the nerve center for the neighborhood- engage students, parents, staff, and larger community in one place
• Schools are ripe for demonstration of triple bottom line benefits- health improvements, revitalization, safety
• Tie to environmental education

SDP’s 1st Stormwater Management Incentive Program Grant, for four Schools
The Stormwater Management Incentives Program (SMIP) provides grants directly to non-residential property owners who want to construct stormwater retrofit projects. It is a competitive grant and decisions are announced quarterly.
All non-residential properties in Philadelphia are billed a stormwater fee based on the size of their parcel and the amount of impervious surface. Billing credits are awarded to properties that retrofit their site to manage stormwater.
