Fresh Coast Protection Partnership

Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District (MMSD) has a goal of capturing 740 million gallons of water with green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) each time it rains by the year 2035. With that goal in mind, MMSD partnered with CIS to create the Fresh Coast Protection Partnership (FCPP) in 2020 to scale up GSI implementation across MMSD’s service area. By the end of 2025, FCPP will have successfully delivered 17 GSI projects that will capture nearly 11.5 million gallons of stormwater. As a Community-Based Partnership, FCPP maximizes impact by ensuring that historically under-invested communities are prioritized and that small business utilization is maximized. To date, 50% of FCPP projects are located in low to moderate-income areas and over 40% of contract work has been awarded to Small, Women, Minority, and Veteran-Owned Enterprises (SWMBEs).
