  • PWD Development Services Newsletter – Pre-App Signups Open! (Reminder)

    February 17, 2026
    Resources, Stormwater Grants, Stormwater Plan Review, Stormwater Regulations, Utility Plan Review

    This is a reminder that that the signup window for the Stormwater Grants program’s “pre-application” meetings closes March 5. Additionally, all meetings to discuss projects seeking grant funding during the spring 2026 application cycle must occur no later than March 6.

    Meanwhile, the deadline to submit applications for the Grants’ spring 2026 cycle is March 20. Use this link to request a (required) pre-application meeting.


    Considering a Grants application in 2026? Then be sure to review PWD’s Stormwater Grants Application Guide. This resource explains property eligibility for grants, how to put together a project team, and all application requirements. And if you are definitely pursuing a retrofit for your property, we recommend creating an account on the Stormwater Connect platform (it’s free!) as your first step.

    Looking for more information? Last year, Development Services hosted a webinar focused on Stormwater Grants, an overview that included details on the program’s application process. Readers who were unable to attend or wish to revisit the presentation may use this link to access the recording.
