Green Infrastructure in Hollygrove-Dixon

Hollygrove-Dixon Neighborhood Association is a member of the Water Wise Gulf South Collective. Through this relationship Hollygrove-Dixon has been able to install over 10 Green Infrastructure Projects in the community. We have educated over 100 residents and we keep pressing.

Why Green Infrastructure

Many communities in the Gulf South are plagued by chronic flooding and climate change is exacerbating this issue. Green infrastructure is a tool to improve stormwater management and reduce the risk of localized flooding. Green infrastructure provides many benefits:

• Improves drainage and lessens localized flooding

• Reduces Soil Subsidence

• Protects the Water Quality of Local Waterways

• Enhances Air Quality

• Improves Public Health Outcomes

• Cools the Urban Environment

• Beautifies Our Neighborhoods

• Strengthens Community Livability
