Development Services News

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

    January 9, 2026
    Resources, Stormwater Grants, Stormwater Plan Review, Stormwater Regulations, Utility Plan Review

    We are pleased to announce that the signup window is now open for the Stormwater Grants program’s spring 2026 “Pre-App” meetings. PWD is accepting pre-application meeting requests today through March 6, and the application deadline for the Grants spring 2026 cycle is March 20. Use this link to request a (required) pre-application meeting.


    Do you want to develop 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.

    Need more information? In summer 2025, Development Services hosted a webinar that provided an overview of the Stormwater Grants program and its application process. Readers who were unable to attend or would like to revisit the presentation may use this link to access the recording.
