About the Program

Year: 2023

Gwinnett County (GA) implemented green infrastructure in parks which enhances recreation value, creates attractive park features, enhances social and environmental equity, reduces maintenance, improves drainage, helps to educate the public, improves water quality, provides economic benefits, and benefits the overall environment. Green Infrastructure became a focus of the stormwater program when the County was planning updates to the Stormwater Management Manual in 2017. The first project was built in 2019 at Collin Hills Park.
