Expanding the Definition of Greenways

Traditionally, greenways have been associated with trails, and the benefits derived from these recreation and transportation facilities.

Greenways Incorporated has worked with communities across the country to expand this definition of greenways to include tools for water quality improvement and flood damage reduction.

In Louisville, KY, we worked with the Metropolitan Sewer District to develop a comprehensive plan of action for limiting future development in floodprone areas.

In Cincinnati, OH, we assisted the Mill Creek Restoration Project in preparing a master plan that will serve as a catalyst for cleaning up and restoring Mill Creek and its tributaries.

In Charlotte, NC, we were commissioned by the Mecklenburg County Park and Recreation Department to update and broaden the mission of its greenway program to include a focus on water quality improvements.
