Environmentally Beneficial Projects

The City of Detroit, Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes & Energy (EGLE), and United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are soliciting ideas from the community for environmentally beneficial projects (EBP) for Detroit. The purpose of this effort is to create a list of project ideas generated by community members and community groups that can serve as a resource for future funding opportunities. To be acceptable, an EBP idea must benefit Detroit residents by reducing pollution in air, in water, or on land.

Project ideas will serve as a starting point for further community engagement depending on the leading agency and funding opportunity, including grants or enforcement settlements. There is no guarantee that a submitted project idea will be implemented. Project ideas from the Detroit EBP list could also be modified to suit the funding opportunity before they are approved and implemented.
