Murphy Administration Launches $20 Million Resilience Program to Modernize Stormwater Infrastructure and Management in Face of Climate Change Threats

The program will provide $9 million for a variety of resilience-related efforts, including grants to incentivize regional watershed management (with a priority to overburdened communities), development of local technical assistance programs, advancement of flood mapping, and improvement of post-disaster damage assessment protocols. In addition, the program will make $11 million available as principal forgiveness loans through the State Revolving Fund for local stormwater resilience infrastructure projects that focus on green technologies.
