RainReady utilizes green infrastructure program designed to bolster existing environments with nature-based solutions in preparation for continued climate-related events. It is an approach that looks at water management wholistically, creates a network of green space connectivity and reinforces or replicates ecosystem services.
In 2016, Cook County’s Department of Planning and Development used CDBG funds to partner with the Center for Neighborhood Technology to create RainReady plans for six communities in the Calumet Corridor (Blue Island, Calumet City, Calumet Park, Dolton, Riverdale and Robbins). The 2016 plans set these communities on a path toward greater resilience through improved stormwater management, sustainable economic development, and integrated planning.
CNT is engaged by governments, advocates, policy makers, and community groups to apply our expertise to solving problems.
