2009 Focus: Water

The focus of the 2009 Built Green Incentive is on water conservation and the impact our development has on the health of watersheds throughout the Puget Sound. As research shows, the increased runoff and erosion associated with residential development has a significant impact on the quality of our watersheds, as well as causing increased demand for water use both indoors and outdoors. Therefore we are looking for exemplary projects that identify low impact development strategies, as well as innovative ways to reduce residential consumption of water for both interior and exterior uses.

Application Submissions

This is a competitive grant, and applications will be evaluated based on criteria listed in the guidelines. Applications for the Built Green grants will be accepted only through online submission (external).

Application Deadline

Friday, Sept. 18 at Midnight (12 a.m.) PT
