At
the statewide level, COSP is drafting Green
Infrastructure for Tomorrow: A Statewide Plan
for Open Space Reinvestment (The GIFT Plan). This document will
be a vision for green infrastructure in urban
and growing communities and a road map for green
infrastructure action in Wisconsin.
The
GIFT Plan will articulate, at local, regional,
and statewide levels:
-
Current strengths and resources
-
Unmet needs and obstacles that need to be
addressed
-
Strategies to move forward
*NEW*
Draft chapters from COSP's GIFT Plan

effective.

you have information, know of a good case study,

development and/or review of the GIFT Plan,
