MUNICIPALITIES MUST GET CREATIVE TO FUND RESILIENCY IN A TIME OF BOTH GREATER NEED AND REDUCED FEDERAL FUNDING
The Duwamish River restoration project is a perfect example of a “capital stack” combination of funding, including: state grants, local grants, public utilities grants, a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation grant, King County Flood Control District funding, conservation fund dollars and funding from FEMA BRIC, a federal program now suspended by the administration.
Other grant applications for the
evolving public-private partnership are pending.
The project team is hoping to enter a
partnership with a pro sports team foundation that supports climate resilience
in disadvantaged areas.
