(July 20, 2021 – December 17, 2021)

The purpose of Onondaga County’s Green Improvement Fund (GIF) is to support the development of green infrastructure and stormwater mitigation techniques on private property.

Since its inception, GIF has provided over $11.6 million in funding to local green infrastructure projects on private property. The 98 projects completed to date capture more than 48.5 million gallons of stormwater runoff each year in the City of Syracuse.

Eligible property owners can apply to receive financial incentives for the installation of Green Infrastructure (GI) Technologies, including but not limited to:

  • Rain gardens

  • Bioretention

  • Dry wells

  • Underground infiltration systems

  • Green roofs

  • Porous pavement

  • Tree plantings

  • Tree trenches

  • Planter boxes

  • Cistern systems

  • Added green space

Grant funding is made available only for project features associated with the installation of green infrastructure solutions and elements of the project that are needed to mitigate stormwater runoff
