Revitalizing the Root River in Racine, WI
Fall 2007 Project Grant Award: $1,000
Project Summary:
The purpose of this project is to develop a Root River Plan that will guide and inform the revitalization of the Root River in the City of Racine. The plan will bring together the best elements of existing plans and a vision for the future of the river. Three key principles guide this planning process: 1) improving the water quality and protecting the environmental corridor, 2) ensuring public access is provided with waterfront (re)development and 3) promoting the participation of citizens and good public process in decisions affecting the protection, use and development of the river. The grant will provide assistance in developing, printing and distributing the plan.
