Nature-Based Solutions Cost-Share Program

Through a grant from the US EPA through the Kentucky Division of Water, a cost-share program is being offered for stormwater management projects that incorporate Nature Based Solutions (NBS) to eligible landowners in the Currys Fork Watershed.  Projects can be reimbursed up to 75% of project cost up to $1000 per residential project ($3000 public/commercial projects).

Projects may include, but are not limited to the following: 

  • rain barrels,

  • rain gardens,

  • pollinator/native-species plantings,

  • live stakes,

  • riparian buffer improvements,

  • bioswales,

  • permeable pavers,

  • other projects using nature to absorb and retain stormwater.
