MEETING: Green Infrastructure for Stormwater Management in Squirrel Hill

The Squirrel Hill Urban Coalition (SHUC), with a mini-grant from the Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority (PWSA), is looking for the best places to consider “green infrastructure” in Squirrel Hill.

As part of this process, there will be a public meeting on June 1, 2016 at 5:30pm at the conference rooms in the Squirrel Hill Branch of the Carnegie Public Library of Pittsburgh. SHUC, with researchers from the University of Pittsburgh, Department of Geology and Environmental Science, along with representatives from Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy, Stormworks, and other local non-governmental agencies all working on green infrastructure locations in Squirrel Hill.
